This is what Bill told Monica they were doing on that notorious occasion....

I don't think the President should be doing Stem Cell Research in the White House at all. He should leave it to those people in white lab coats with goggles, gloves and all that aparatus at their disposal.

I'm highly supportive of stem cell research. Stem Cell Research can help w/such things as Parkinsons and paralysis. I'm glad Obama has put this as a priority as well.

i whole heartedly agree with it. it can save lives and improve living standards of thousands of people

This Christian Republican says do it. 100% for it. Now.

The U.S. Govt. has successfully funded research to find cures for disease. To not fund this is like teaching creationism instead of science; Absurd.
Oops sorry Republicans, I forgot to take you seriously.

For the sake of saving lives, let's keep stem cell research. Forget what the Christian Right preaches to you.

agree,but not under supervision by the government,only under science and medicine.

No one is arguing the point of research for anything other than embryonic stem cells harvested from aborted humans. Beyond the data that finds other ways for this research to be done, the direct creation of human life for experimentation is a violation of Natural Law and a moral perversion. Why not just clone full humans and kill them for parts?

The debate, wonderfully obfuscated by Ron Reagan at the Demo Convention (July, '04), is not about legalizing this type of research. This research is being conducted now, extensively, throughout the world. The debate is whether the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT should hand over the open check book for this type of research. If there was a likelihood of success for this type of research, would not private dollars be attaching themselves to it by the millions in pursuit of a return on investment? Of course, they would. The proponents of this have a long way to go in winning this argument because they overplay the heartstrings element of it and underplay the practical side. Wouldn't we all love to find a cure for Alzheimers, AIDS, and a hundred others?

I would definitely legalize stem cell research in order to advance medical research and technology. However I would not allow government to fund it - just legalize it and let private industries fund it.

Although I haven't heard and don't know much about stem cell research, what I have heard about it is good things. Stem cell research could allow us to find cures to currently incurable diseases. We could possibly find a cure for cancer, one of America's biggest killers. It could cure Alzheimer's, which recently claimed a president and is striking people at a younger age every day. A man in my town was diagnosed with Alzheimer's one year ago--he is 35. We should at least give it a try. If it doesn't work out, or has harmful consequences, then we can stop. But we'll never know if we don't take the risk.

Only a babbling idiot would think that this is a bad idea. These are the same people that refused to listen to Galileo. Stem Cell Research is the future- period. Can you dig it?

The potential for life-saving technology emerging from this research far outweighs any of the arguments proposed against it, most of which are based on superstitions thousands of years old.

Approve it and give it funding!
