Comments on: Stem Cell Research Using Human Embryos is Acceptable http://nursingpub.com/stem-cell-research-using-human-embryos-is-acceptable Nursing Stories, Nursing Tips and information Wed, 05 Oct 2011 08:59:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: admin http://nursingpub.com/stem-cell-research-using-human-embryos-is-acceptable#comment-70 admin Sun, 23 Aug 2009 05:06:01 +0000 http://nursingpub.com/?p=157#comment-70 How could they suffer? They have no organ formation, no heart to stop, no organs to fail, no cns to feel pain. No nerves to register stimuli, no brain to interpret the stimuli. Many people imagine microscopic babies when talking about this, but they arent. Human, yes. Baby, no. No more of a baby than the skin cells you shed every single day (they ARE human, arent they? but do they suffer as the dry out and fall off... if your skin gets hurt, you feel it... because you have a cns that takes stimuli, sends signals to the brain which interprets as pain. Embryos dont have nerves, dont have a brain to interpret it, and you dont feel the thousands of skin cells you shed in a single minute falling off, do you)?? Here is my thing... No one screams at IVF for killing embryos. ALL the embryos used in embryonic stem cell research are the ones that IVF has killed. IVF is a legal and socially acceptable proceedure that not only is condoned by virtually everyone, but people run to spend tons of money to have it done, and virtually any good medical insurance policy will cover atleast some portion of the cost. While the goal of IVF is to create a pregnancy, it ALSO leaves a long trail of dead embryos. No one screams murder at birth control. While hormonal birth control utilizes several measures to prevent pregnancy, if they all fail the the last method is to render the uterine lining incapable of allowing a fertalized egg (an embryo) to implant and create a pregnancy. If the sperm gets in and the egg gets out and they meet, the embryo cant implant, dies, and passes with the menstrual cycle. What doesnt make sense to me is that we have these other socially acceptable medical proceedures that kill embryos, but no one cares until it could possibly produce life saving and quality improving treatments for millions of people, rather than just those seeking to prevent a pregnancy or have thousands of dollars to spend creating one. Source(s): .. Maybe this will explain it better.... Do you know how a root canal works? Basically, they go in and remove the nerve. No nerve, no pain. These embryos not only dont have nerves, but dont have a brain to interpret the stimuli from a nerve. How could they suffer?
