Taxpayers Should Fund Stem Cell Research.
If we are going to fund necessities and advancements like clean energy and mortgages then may as well throw in stem cell research.

I can't believe it's not bigger than it currently is.

No big deal, it's getting researched elsewhere. It'll be just one more area of scientific advancement that we won't be a part of and won't have access to for ten years after everyone else.

This would be a great idea. It would be for the people, funded by the people.

The potential for medical breakthroughs using stem cell research far outweighs the concerns of a handful of the ultrareligious.

First of all i'm against it because to me its imoral but that about the stem cell research but as far as taxpayers funding it, that's crazy. We already fund so much going on and the economy is bad and i don't have money to throw away like that. And i believe it should be like the days of edison if you want to study something you should commit yourself and get sponsors and grants of different companies and people that support your issue. I wouldn't want my tax money going to that because i don't believe in it. That's like saying taxpayers should fund the vuilding of a new Muslim mosque.

Hey here is a idea lets just have everyone give everything to the gov.(because we all know how great they are at managing things) then they can dole out what they see fit. This is ridiculous there is too much gov. Interventions in things now. If stem cell research shows so much promise then someone will see it as a opportunity and go for it. You are much better leaving gov. Out of it. I also think we need to look at what is and is not a necessity.

 I totally agree, its not like the government really knows what they are doing anyway and i flat out don't trust them with my money. I also agree that why is stem cell research getting the front seat when we need to pay for the mortgaes lost in the housing market, the starving people in America, the homeless, the roads, gas (which has gone back down THANK GOD) and things like that. Personally with all the problems in the world today America needs to straighten out its priorities because stem cell research is not a prority right now. I cant for the life of me figure out how and why we can find a way like taxing the people to get stem cell research done but we cant find the time the fuding or the proper procedure for bringing home our troops. that doesn't even sound right
