Guest guest Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 In my opinion and based upon fact, Obama should focus on adult stem cell research which is where results are, not embryonic.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I hope to hold out long enough so they can grow me a new liver! They’ve had success in growing a bladder using stem cells (a very rare, birth defect). I’m afraid a liver is a little more complicated though.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 They are growing organs from them (which can be seen on Utube), only animal organs (I think), but can human organs, like the liver be far behind? Imagine a liver transplant with a liver grown from your own tissue, perfect match, no rejection drugs and no rejection.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I often think that someone is going to unlock the door that will answer many questions about diseases, including anything that is autoimmune. It's just a matter of time. The University of Rochester has a huge research facility ready to jump in on stem cell research and I'm sure they're not the only ones. I believe I mentioned that stem cells can be saved from " baby teeth " extracted by a dentist and stored -- it's expensive, but something that people should consider. I have also heard that stem cells can be found in menstrual fluid. I think that we will soon learn that there are other viable sources of stem cells that won't be as controversial as embryonic stem cells.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 -----Original Message----- With today's news that President Obama lifted federal funding restrictions for embryonic stem cell research, does anyone know if there could be any advances releated to PSC in the years to come? Medical research for or with embryonic (or adult) stem cells was never banned. What Bush did was to say the Federal Government wasn’t going to pay for the research. Private companies have been studying both types of stem cells all along. Barb in Texas - Together in the Fight - Whatever it Takes!

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 While I am certainly not a doctor, I think that this research is necessary, but we won't see the results for quite a long time. Scientists won't know unless they try though. I think the things that are closer to reality and may help us revolve around transplant issues. Lots of money is being poured into that now. One article I found interested talked about an experimental bone marrow transplant method that may prevent the need for anti-rejection meds. here is the link: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22808856/ This might work for living liver donors as well. Another area of research is in artificial livers, the goal being to sustain a person longer on the waiting list, much like kidney dialysis. Here is a link for that article. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28981937/ I get easily discouraged by the lack of treatment for our disease, but areas surrounding liver disease and transplants in general are heavily researched.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 The Brits are way ahead of us with Stem Cell stuff. In fact, they've already "made" a liver--but not one that's big enough to use yet: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-413551/British-scientists-grow-human-liver-laboratory.html And Lori, I understand your almost heated response against Obama's funding probably comes from deeply held ethical convictions, but I'm not sure the sources you posted are the most convincing. The "fact sheet" from stemcellresearch.org claims there are NO benefits to humans from embryonic stem cells. I'm not discounting the great strides made with "adult" stem cells--that's awesome!--but the facts remain that embryonic cells have been used to help rebuild various organs, including hearts, http://www.the-aps.org/press/journal/04/23.htm and the fact remains that researchers want to continue studying embryonic lines because they are more maleable, and they don't have some of the problems that adult stem cells have. (Both types have a plethora of obstacles to overcome--it's too easy to point out the problems of just one.) I, for one, would like the researchers to continue studying what they deem worthy of potential, or are they just ignorant like the president? in Ohio psc 2008 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Hi , The website did not say there were no benefits with using a human embryo's but said there were none in the list of diseases shown. Maybe you can find some in the list that have had benefits with embryonic cells. I would like to be aware of some on live people. I just typed in google (liver disease & stem cells) to get those links. Yes, it is a personal conviction of mine based upon my knowledge of the bible (my faith) but that was not why I said what I said, but glad you brought it up. Yes, I do think many are misinformed but some are informed and know what they are doing. I guess it depends upon where you get your information from. It would seem a little less work to use adult stem cells already existing instead of creating a life first and taking what you need from it. You and I may have different convictions and rely on different information but we both want to see a miracle! I am very excited to see what research comes next! I can't imagine how much more what they will know in just 10 years. Lori A. "Aggressively Pursuing Solutions To Your Real Estate Needs!" First Weber Group Cell: 1507 E.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 It’s my understanding that the embryonic stem cells they will use come from fertility clinics, where the unused embryos are simply trashed. Either way, not what I like to see happening to a human embryo, but if they were mine, I’d rather see them used for some good than thrown out. ============== I guess it depends upon where you get your information from.
