Thread Name: BS: On Ethics and Stem Cell Research
Subject: RE: BS: On Ethics and Stem Cell Research
I should clarify that the medical ethics questions pertaining to stem cell research lead right into the ethical questions pertaining to immortality treatments that can add about 30 years to one's lifespan and potentially much more.

I have noticed that the exact same medical treatments which in fact help reverse the aging process in people (growth hormones, testesterone, steroids and others)
are the exact same treatments that Congress and the media machine are vilifying among baseball players and other athletes who are in wonderful condition.

There is no coincidence here.
Nor has the increased risk of cancer been proven.

One might think that such treatments will of course be reserved for people like Bill Gates and you know who.
