They just throw those unused blastocytes in the garbage, they end up in some medical waste dump somewhere. Would you rather than that, than see those cells being used to help cure a lot of horrible diseases? You say that you support organ donation -- isn't giving these blastocytes a chance to help save somoene's life similar to organ donation? Don't you think they would rather do some good with whatever life they have, rather than just be thrown in a dump? ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, March 26, 2009 12:01 PM Subject: [TMIC] Embrionic Stem Cell Discussion
I want to take a stand in the discussion regarding the use of human embryos for research or healing. I started following the healing possibilities before I ever heard of TM, because my husband has been diabetic for twenty years. My husband's stand was that he would not use any method that involved human embryo's even if it means he will die of the complications of diabetis. Good for him! (Hard for me.) Then along came TM and I now read of stem cell research with the hopes of us both benefitting from the outcome. However, I take my own stand - I do not want to use any method that consists of the use of embryonic stems cells and I regret the use of human embryos of any stage being used for research. I visited Jude yesterday and she asked me what TMIC was discussing. When I told her it was regarding the use of different stages of embryos for research and healing she said she would allow her body to die before she would accept any treatment that used human embryo's. We discussed that we have many extra adult stem cells that we would like to donate to research. I do not want my tax dollars to support embryonic research or baby abortions of any kind. I also quit donating blood after TM, however, I've signed for organ donation and figure it will be a doctor's decision whether or not to accept.
