Understanding Embryonic Stem Cells, Seattle
Douglas A. Melton, Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator and professor of molecular and cellular biology at Harvard University, speaks on the controversial topic of embryonic stem cells, or ES cells. ES cells are cells that can be isolated from early embryos, before they differentiate into specific types of cells. Because stem cells have the potential to generate fresh, healthy cells of nearly any type, there is interest in exploring their use to treat and cure various diseases. The societal controversy regarding human ES cells relates primarily to their derivation from very early embryos. In addition, certain stem cell lines are developed using a cloning technique called somatic cell nuclear transfer, which can generate cells that are an exact genetic match to a patient.

@oran6es thats not what someone suffering from neurodegenerative would say
Living developing humans should not be reduced to marketable commodities.
or more importantly when the cell mutates into cancer or does its job too well and over developes killing the host? then will the doctors be at fault or med researcher? I wanna know whom I am going to have to sue.
So what happens when people “make payments” and can no longer afford them, will Geron Repo their property? just curious….
would it be possible to place an artificial or transplanted islet near to or in the pancreas and use electronic stimulation to trick it into producing beta cells?
@Mattco92 Ever wonder what abortion looks like?
To see the sheer brutality & violence imposed on unborn helpless babies during abortion please visit the websites that pop up when you type this into your search engine:
1) abortioninstruments
2) abortionNo
3) Abort73 – look under tab “Abort73 Videos” – scroll down & watch 13th video title “This is Abortion”
7 week old embryo has beating heart, legs & arms.
Embyro & fetus are human, not just “a blob of tissue” as commonly believed
How do these cells divide into all types of cells that form the ” animal ” ??
WE DON’T KNOW
How did life came about ??
WE DON’T KNOW
So the main point is :
WE DON’T KNOW
finally an embryonic stem cell video that isn’t tinged with creationist propaganda.
wheres part 2??
@TheMarksmenCat haha ur funny mate. do u know how many problems religion have caused us in the past 1000 years. think about that for a second
hahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!! OMGZ r u for reals?!?!?!?!?!?!? LOFL!!! FAG!! Jesus sucks balls!!!
Put your trust in Jesus, not in science
GET IT STRAIGHT PEOPLE!!! BUSH DID NOT BAN EMBRYONIC STEM CELL RESEARCH!! He banned the use of federal funds in the research beyond the existing lines in federally funded programs. PRIVATE companies could and can still do research with private funds as much as they want. NOTHING prevented them and they have been doing it at full force all along. Despite the presses assertion, federal funds aren’t necessary to do everything.
walmart sucks. so does GE, which is a major war profiteer. boycott industrial capitalism and you’ll do better.
ADULT stem cells have helped people to walk again AND cured a range of diseases. Embryonic stem cells have caused cancerous tumors in animal models. The embryonic cells have less of a potential just because of the massive side effects on both the ‘donor’ and recipent.
I’m sure you’ve heard about the recent news regarding GE’s hESCR. My husband and I have decided to start a grassroots effort to boycott GE products.
We have contacted Walmart at 1-800-Walmart and asked them to consider replacing GE products with competitors. We appealed to Walmart’s “family” image and suggested that it would be in Walmart’s interest to support our cause.
PLEASE, pass it along!!!
Az, Correction? I think not!
If you’re saying that ESCR has cured anything, you are wrong. If you are saying that ESCR has repaired severed spinal cords, you are wrong, again.
Az, since you’re young, I’ll cut you a little slack. Today, ASCR is helping people. Today,,,Not Maybe Tomorrow, or maybe in a year, or 10, 20, 30 or even 50 years, but Today.
And what of ESCR? It is producing Teratomas.
Correction, it hasn’t cured an ILLNESS as of yet. It HAS helped people, for examlpe, to walk again. Admittedly, it hasn’t cured cancer or anything like that, but that’s the point of RESEARCH. It has potential, so why not work with it?
However, the difference between ESCR and ASCR is that ASCR has been proven to be successful….And ESCR, through-out the entire world, has helped no one!
Thats why its called embryonic stem cell “research”. The whole purpose is to understand more about them….the application of what is learned comes at a much later stage.
Why do you think the physicists have spent billions of dollars smashing atomic particles eh? Its called “basic science research”, which is an incredibly important part of science.
some people don’t understand that stem cell research is the perfect way to advance into the future. we could make life longer. make new life. the possibilities are endless. we have to do this
Embryonic stem cells, ZERO – gee I wonder if that has anything to due with the fact that it wasn’t allowed to be researched until we got a democrat in office
well, if we didn’t use those embryos, they would have been discarded anyway. and there are certain limitations to adult stem-cells.

No, you are confusing the parts with the whole. The difference between a collection of cells and a living organism is the ability to act in a coordinated manner for the continued health and maintenance of the body. It is particularly this capability that stops at the point the organism dies. Dead bodies routinely have plenty of live cells, but the cells don't function in coordination with eachother. It is not at all arbitrary.

You got it. I'll be uploading the full documentary as well sometime very soon. After all that is Rick Simpson's only request from us after receiving this information. He wants us to spread it far and wide so that we the people know the truth. WORLD WIDE!
What the fundamentalist opponents of embryonic stem-cell research do not seem to understend is that the term for person in the Hebrew scriptures (Christian Old Testament) is “nefesh”, which means something that breathes. In other words, the Bible recognizes human personhood as beginning at birth, not at fertilization or at the embryonic stage. This view corresponds with that of modern neuroscience, which is that the functions of personhood (consciousness and will) are not possible until a certain level of cerebral cortex development has occurred, some time after 28 to 32 weeks of gestation. Thus embryonic sten-cell research and virtually all abortions do not affect human persons. Opposition to embryonic stem-cell research is based almost entirely on the fundamentalist insistence on patriarchy, that is, male dominance.

I know them personally. They are better Live. I like RA RA Riot too. They opened up for them at the Orange Peel in Asheville, NC.
It would be sad for 3 cubs to die in the woods, but it would be much worse to lose a human life. Get over it tree huggers.

Again, an adult stem cell can become any cell.
While likely every tissue of the body can be healed by stem cells, those are generally not the same stem cells. Neural stem cells heal the brain, mesenchymal stem cells can heal bones, etc.
At least, that's what I understand to be the case. I am aware of any evidence for totipotent or pluripotent adult stem cells existing naturally in the human body. I was wondering, do you know of any research on this?]]>

CHS Crow | Matthew, Raven & Don — ‘I do believe that we’re 99% in charge of … – CHS Capitol Hill Seattle
I am in agreement with your measured views on the stemcell research debate. However, concerning your comment – 'Sacrificing another human life, even in embryonic form, to alleviate another’s pain is unacceptable.” Would not the life in embryonic form simply perish, completely and utterly unfulfilled, if the embryonic stemcell was not used in medical research? Made in God's image, we have intelligence and the power to chose how to use it. Could backing off the use of embryonic stemcells in research aimed at benefiting mankind be construed as being an action akin to that of the servant who buried the talents entrusted to him by his absentee master?]]>
I hate New Jersey and its fans. They should move them to Seattle instead.
