If there was a picture of YOU at the embryonic stage of your life, it would “in no way” resemble what you look like today. Neither, I dare say, would your picture at birth, or 1 year-old–but it is STILL YOU. The growth of an embryon into a fetus, then a newborn, etc. is scientifically amd medically accurate, as hard as that is for you to accept and justify in destroying. And I wonder, why are there more than 900,000 embryos still cryofrozen…is it perhaps their parents know better than kill?
DBomb–or should I say–DBomb, Former Embryo–there are a number of scientific inaccuracies in your post. “Mas of undecided cells” is inaccurate. An embryo is human life at the embryonic stage of development…not “undecided.” Thee is no such thing as “extra eggs” in IVF. These also are human lives at the embryonic stage of development. Once the spem is united with the egg…it’s no longer an egg.
The blastocyst in no way resembles the pictures of babies shown it looks like what you could picture a cell looking like. For better information on the subject go to stemcells(dot)nih(dot)gov/info/basics/
First of all embryonic stem cells are derived from a 5 day old embryo know as a blastocyst which is still a mass of undecided cell which means there are no organs no bones no life just cells. 99.9% are obtained through invitro which come from extra eggs that would otherwise be disposed of in invitro clinics anyways. Im not saying what they said in this video is wrong it is just misleading, expecially when they show pictures of babies.
Number of People with Diabetes Increases to 24 Million
Estimates of Diagnosed Diabetes Now Available for all U.S. Counties
For Immediate Release: June 24, 2008
Contact: CDC Division of Media Relation
Diabetes now affects nearly 24 million people in the United States, an increase of more than 3 million in approx. 2 years, according to new data estimates released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Nearly 8 percent of the U.S. population has diabetes.
Millions? Really?
The first one can scream. of course.
Question to all interested in “therapy” based on embryonic stem cells: you all would be non-existent now if someone decided that he/she can spare you as “material”. There is not any difference from disassemble fully developed human and sell him as source of transplants or disassembling someone during his embryonic development. The issue here is that the latter can scream…
yes
More to add:
1. Is spareness a justification to grow a human in separate dishes with the intent to sell its mature living parts ?
2. Is cannibalizing the youngest of our species really a medical advancement ?
3. What do we do when the spares run out( 400k “spare” embryos, 24 MILLION diabetics(one disease).
4. Should a corporation own individual living humans at any stage of their development ?
5. Embryonic cells grown in dishes mature. In 8 weeks, they’re fetal cells. In 38 weeks, infant cells.
“You all need to know what embryonic stem cells are and what the definition of cloning really means.”
I couldn’t have said it better myself! That is what this video does so well. So what is it about these two areas that is not scientifically or medically accurate in the video?
Should we be allowed to experiment, without limits, on human beings, without their permission? (You know, Nazi Germany style, or U.S. Government Tuskegee Experiment style?)
Hmmm?
STem cell research is just beginning. You can’t expect for researcher’s to only study adult stem cells and not embryonic stem cells? Both areas are important and this video is clearly bias in only supporting adult stem cell. You all need to know what embryonic stem cells are and what the definition clone really means.
wilder…please…tell me…what is BIASED about the video? What is inaccurate? I challenge you!!!!!!!!!!!! Engage the debate!!!!
this is so biased.
And to the followers of “harvest of embryonic stem cells”: If you had been decomposed at few cells stage of development, you wouldn’t be writing anything now…
And this from 2009 should end the debate about disassembling human children for production of stem cells: this article describes methods of acquisition of stem cells from human skin -they are your body cells clones.

So there we are not dealing with “potential” of an embryo to develop into human, because this suggest statistical interpretation, as if it could develop different species, but with 1/0 confidence that this is meant to give a new human. And indeed at that stage the one cell is really equal to all human organism, even if it seems amazing.
Science in simple words is about how things works. In this case how human body works. Results of newest research allow us to obtain stem cells from our own body, without the need for destruction of someones else organism.
That should be extremely clear: human cell with complete genome that entered the state
of embryogenesis WILL produce entire body.
That characteristic differs that cell from all other cells of our bodies that also have complete copy of genome.
To all interested in scientific view of the matter: DO NOT use word “science” for description of procedure that have nothing in common with it.
It is not even pseudomedicine, as medicine should not be in conflict with Hipocrates legacy.
Here (disassembling human body) we are dealing with anti-medicine.
Moreover, even the “matrix” procedure is not proper description of this, because in “matrix” food was produced from cadavers, and here we have to deal with disassembling all human living body in development!
There are many other methods of tissue regeneration including damaged neural cells , but this demands research and funding instead of spending money on stupid tasks. …And most of all it does not requires harvest of humans for production from their bodies material for replacement for the others…
The method (using embryonic stem cells) resembles making food from humans like in the “matrix”!
“The theory is that because these stem cells are fetal cells, they are designed to proliferate and give rise to new tissue, which means they have the potential to produce tumors. The case, write the authors of this weeks cae study, should serve as a warning that more research is needed to gauge the safety of these novel therapies.”

This video was posted in 2007, and according to
new research it is now evident that embryonic stem cells can cause cancer. See this reference
