Maybe it's using ethnics for scientific research.

I think he just made the word up? :/

learn2google?

also tully bio-technics has nothing to do with bio-ethics ....

I get all sorts of different meanings.


Wait - Biotechnology? We do research it ? There's alot of money being invested into it in Australia as we speak?

 

[bshoc]

Ah yes, because bioethics, neurology, cybernetics and prosthetics have ALL been less than 20 years in the making? lol. You're so fucking backward.

No but they've all made intermediate progress ..

lol you just quoted it idiot

learn2spell?

 

[bshoc]

learn2spell?

how did i spell biotechnics wrong idiot?

technics - technology

techinics, ballistics, ethics ... notice a patern ..


omg idiot ..

Man, you do know stem-cell research is a part of biotechnology, right? It really seems odd to me that in claiming other promising fields should be looked into... you actually mentioned fields where stem-cell research is one of their main focuses lol.

 

[katie_tully]

Also, one of the main focuses of stem cell research is on neurology. It's already showing promise with paralysed mice and as previously mentioned degenerative brain diseases.
It's hoped the research will provide ansers for Alzheimers, dementia, cerebal palsy, paralysis and MS.

I don't think he does. One of the reasons for interest into stem cell research is the fact that damaged nerve and brain cells are irreparable by current scientific methods; it's hoped we can instead create new, undiseased and undamaged cells.

People are supposed to die, don't reverse the effects of darwinism.

Embryonic Stem Cell Research = Destroys living embryos for pluripotonic stem cells which can be manufactured in a more humane way.

Stem Cell Research = Good for short term, but bad for long term. (Different of other modern day medicine.)

Fuck off, of the internet you right-winged moron.

People aren't 'supposed' to do anything, darwinism (and basically all science ) merely notes what IS happening.

Explain to me how you can create insulin producing cells without using embryonic stem cells?

Why?

This isn't about preventing death, it's about improving quality of life. Because we're all supposed to die, we're all supposed to live in pain until that happens?

Fuck off, of the internet you right-winged moron.

I think I shall...stay.

There are fields within biotechnology that are both ethical and succesful, most notably, adult stem cell research.

True, I suppose. People will be immortal some day. ZOMG Colonies of Immortal universe destroyers!

The same way the body does?

Why?

Weakens human species by allowing weaker traits to be inherited by future generations eg(Heart Disease)

 

[katie_tully]

Gasp, but didn't you say stem cell research has yielded NOTHING?

 

[bshoc]

Gasp, but didn't you say stem cell research has yielded NOTHING?

embryonic and the research that bill adressed has yielded nothing, correct.

 

[Not-That-Bright]

The same way the body does?

Impossible without embryonic stem-cells.

Well if such technology went far enough, heart disease would be eliminated. The only real long-term fear that I can think of (that I thought you were going to bring up) is a huge population of near-immortals in a universe of finite (that we can access) resources.

lol.... If you accept that stem-cell research has been successful then I have no idea how you can imagine that embyronic stem cell research has not - It's the same science just applied to different cases.

 

[katie_tully]

Which we've already discussed as being incorrect!

It's not a solution, it's actually lowering the quality of the homo-sapien species. If such weak and inferior traits are allowed to be inherited by future generations, then the future generation will be weaker, less-versatile, more susceptible to allergies and infections. (Basically, like michael jacksons children. A cold breeze gives them a head-cold.)
