Also death is what hinders mankind's progress the most, and if you didn't die you wouldn't need stem cells in the first place...
What a pea-brained ignorant response. Do you really think that stem cell research is nothing more than a modern day quixotic search for the fountain of youth?
And even if it was, what's your bitch? You don't want people to live longer? It's as if you were arguing that the germ theory of disease somehow thwarted our development as a species. Let's keep facts straight here. The germ theory of disease is less than 160 years old and has saved and extended more lives than your Christ could ever account for.
Who said anything about fountain of youth? I clearly stated the "purpose of stem cells would be to allow people to live longer, no?" . Would not the treatment of disease, replacement of organs ect. result in longer life?
The issue I took, muppet, was the statement of only wanting to live long enough to essentially see mankind progress by enabling people to live longer...
