Apparantly, stem cell research has led to the cure for blindness! It makes one wonder... if that is the cure for blindness, what else has this taboo research been holding out on us?

What are your opinions, guys?

It might be taboo research but I think that. sounds. AWESOME!

Since it's only worked on three people so far, we'll have to see how effective this really is, and whether there're any risks... and for people who are totally blind, they'll need donors, won't they? That might be difficult.

Plus, if this really works out, would it be affordable?

I'm extremely undecided.

I guess I third that.

I guess if it can help, then that's great.
But there's a cost for everything. Sad

There's other ways to get stem cells other than aborted fetuses, they can get it from the umbilical cords.

So I'm for it.

[and uh I'm pro-choice]

Oh...so that's why people are so against stem-cell research. I've always wondered why...

Yeah, because so many people are against abortion and the widely held belief that most stem cells come from aborted fetuses... I guess they just put two and two together.

I just hope this doesn't start a political war. The last thing we need is another reason to fight.

It's not the fact that/most/ stem cells come from aborted fetuses, it's the way they need to be extracted and all that. And the fact that they can back it up with the fact that abortion = murder. Tank goodness that in Canada a human is alive at birth [under the law]

I wish I lived in Canada sometimes. America just isn't the same as it was before.

I'm pretty sure stem cells don't come from fetuses but from an earlier stage. They may also come from bone marrow, I think. I'll try to find the article I read on this.

We'll have to keep an eye out for it - I'd like to know where they get the majority of them from.

Was that intended to be a joke?
