Menstrual Stem Cells
December 20, 2009 121 CommentsHere’s the facts behind the countercultural medical controversy known as stem cell research: stem cells are basically undifferentiated cells capable of dividing and differentiating into loads of different cell known as stem cell research: stem cells are basically undifferentiated cells capable of dividing and differentiating into loads of different cell types: heart, lung, liver, brain, etc. So basically, they’re blank slate cells that can be used to build healthy tissue to help people whose tissues are damaged by disease or other injury. This all sounds great, right? So what’s the big social controversy, right? The controversy is that stem cells are often harvested using embryonic tissue — and religious people don’t like no one messing with no embryos. Ever. Amen. Apparently, stem cells are outside the cultural acceptance point. Personally, I’m pretty sure I’ll never know when a human life officially starts or when a human soul officially enters this reality. I’m happy with it being my lot in life NOT to know. Some things are just of other worlds, planes, or dimensions, and I’m ok with that. I certainly don’t want to mess with other people’s certainties, though, regardless (or especially) if I don’t agree with them. Especially over there in the mainstream’s conservative right. So when I found out in an alternative news source that scientists over at Medistem had found a brand-new place to harvest stem cells, I figured I should share the research. The new source? Menstrual blood. Watch the vlog to hear the story.
[..YouTube..] It’s great to see all these people in favor of stem cell research. However, the fact that this was in New York likely biased it, and I wouldn’t be surprised if a majority in more conservative parts were against it.

[..YouTube..] If I were to get a new nose using mentrual stem cells would I get a monthly nose-bleed?? *cymbal shot*

[..YouTube..] Leave the cells in my stem alone.

[..YouTube..] Stem cell research has not been legalized because many people feel it is morally wrong to use the egg since it has already been fertilized. However, stem cell research has the capabilities to provide people with NEW eyes, brains, bones, and even hearts. Cloning uses copies of old cells…which are weaker and die just as fast if not faster because old cells gradually lose their ability to fix mistakes made in DNA that carries out basic life processes.

[..YouTube..] The purest form of stem cells are found in a fertilized egg (which is one female’s egg+one male’s sperm). As previously stated, fertilized eggs usually form babies after 9 months of ovulation while in a mother’s womb, but the question remains at which prenatal stage do we consider the fertilized egg a living soul.
