So guys, what's your opinion on this? Should it be given the go ahead, or is the moral dilemma too great?
Personally, I think we already play God enough, heart transplants, dialysis, transfusions etc, so I don't see the issue in using blank cells to combat conditions. A couple of years ago I contracted a really bad case of Glandular Fever at a party, I nearly died and was hospital bound for ages. As a result of this, I suffered sudden sensory neural hearing loss in my right ear. This means the nerves no longer work, so I am profoundly deaf in that ear.
The doctors could potentially have fixed it if they put me on steroids, but I had an incompetent nurse who told me I had an ear infection (even though there was no infection at all).
I could potentially have it fixed with the use of stem cells, they've done research on mice with the exact same issues in Russia with varying degrees of success. There was a case of a quadraplegic IIRC that went to India and with the use of stem cells was able to breathe unaided for the first time in years.
Without turning this into a $h1t fight, what are your opinions? Do you agree that stem cell research is wrong, when we've already mastered transplanting organs from dead people? Who has the right to stop scientific progression?
