ITT it's stem cell research debate!

I don't see anything wrong with harvesting dead human parasites and processing them for research material. After all, cancer cell lineages have been in use for decades, so what's wrong with using some other endogenous parasite for research?

Well, considering that we can't say the answer is a definate YES, and this stuff can save tens of thousands of people, maybe we could take a chance.

It seems like with most alt-meds, and enviro-hippyism, we're perfectly comfortable letting people suffer and possibly die cause the thing we think is going to save them is "ickypants". Thinking that it "might be life" just isn't good enough. You have to prove it. At least that's what I think.

i'm not really sure that you're alive. would it be okay for me to kill you if it might save tens of thousands of people?
what if all of those people happen to be muslim extremists who want to kill millions of other people?

> i'm not really sure that you're alive.

Yes, you are. Playing stupid is no way to make an argument. Please try again.

> Yes, you are.

>>46 could have been a bot. Or he/she could have died before >>47 was posted.
>>47 has no way of knowing if either of those is the case, therefore >>47 cannot be sure that >>46 is alive unless >>46 and >>47 are the same person.

Philosophical wanking. It has no place in a debate about the fates of actual lives.
