And this really works. Unlike anything involving embryonic stem cells.

  1. Interesting. What is your objection to the use of embryonic stem cells. Also, what is your objection to the creation of human-animal hybrid embryos? The process, as I understand it, involves the insertion of an adult human skin cell into an animal embryo with the nucleus removed. No human embryos are harmed, or even involved. I don't see what's wrong with that.

    Incidentally, it's legal now, because it's a recent development, and therefore isn't banned - parliament has never before been asked to take a view on it. Would you actively ban it, or just leave it unregulated as it is?

  2. I object because it never yields any results, whereas cord and adult stem cell research do.

    I object to human-animal hybrids because they blur the distiniction between human and animal nature, but even then what you describe would not attract the attention that what is actually being debated does attract.

    And yes, the involvement of embryonic human beings (which I say as one might say "adolesent human beings", or "elderly human beings") must be actively banned.
