Do you think stem cell research should be legal or illegal?

Do you agree anything that can improve existing life should be promoted?

from what i have read, I believe that stem cell research should be legalised and clinics should be allowed to carry out "procedures" on certain cases with the consent of both parties,...

I think the benefits outweigh the risks. Personally though I wish it wasn't so expensive to save stem cells.

If the upper Vala answers your medical prayers, then why do you need health insurance?

I feel the advantages far outweigh the risks and so the process should go on. Stem cells can be used to form any kind of cells..be it bone, muscle, blood or skin etc. Why can't this be used to culture and replace lost, damaged or mutated cells/tissues?

The only way we can stop the research going in the wrong direction is to ensure that funding is SMART and under full CONTROL, not to allow any private or non-state actors use this for their ulterior motives.

Yes we have this in Qatar. You can freeze umblical cords of newborns to be used at a later date.

did u read my statement or not

car is a man made thing...and for sure there are technical problems that occur...then if no problems then what is the need TECHNICAL INSPECTION (FARES) in qatar

same way there could be problems with this stem cells...but when a car manufacturer sells his car, does he ever try to disclose negative points of a car...NO..he wants to sell it and gain money...same way this is all about business this stem cell..they will not disclose the negative points and as i read in the article there are positive points only...lets see what happens

By anonymous• 23 May 2013 09:02

but one thing ...any man made inventions can not be 100% true and are borne to error...so lets see

i dont have much idea about it...but was going thru an article and found the below

Potential for use

Stem cell research is improving by leaps and bounds. These may soon become the basis for treating diseases such as Parkinson's disease, diabetes, heart failure, cerebral palsy, heart disease and host of other chronic ailments.

Stem cells may also be used for screening new drugs and toxins and understanding birth defects without subjecting human volunteers to the toxins and drugs.

if it can cure so many diseases then why not legalize it...looks good

do we have this in qatar or not yet

Well so far stem cell experiments are limited to mice and rodents (animals) only.

(Whilst we’re biologically similar, using the technology/testing it on humans are a bit dangerous, as the complications/ results can be both fatal and scary.

It should be legal but it does have implications. If we understand it properly and if used in the correct way the benefits are huge.

I personally knew the people that pioneered stem cell research they all believe they were doing it for the right reasons but that is how many things start. Others may try to weaponise the research and that is where you get problems.

Luckily most Al Qaeda operations are pretty stupid and they resort to suicide attacks, this type of tech is well out of their league.
