A New, Gross Source for Stem Cells
December 20, 2009 111 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..] Do embryos have souls?Well, look at it this way…God sacrificed his son to save the world. (That’s the story, right?) I don’t see much difference in that and sacrificing and embryo to save people from cancer.

[..YouTube..] Truth is, there have YET to be any treatments using fetal stem cells. There have been a number of successes with NON fetal stem cells. And CORD blood is the more common source for non fetal stem cells. The whole Stem cell controversy was created by researchers working with fetal stem cells who wanted Federal funding. There has NEVER been a ban on working with fetal stem cells. Truth is they have been problematic… causing big medical problems for recipients.
