"we are not considered good or bad, most humans just do whats in their best interest regardless of it being good or bad." Too bad most people have no idea what's really in their best interest. Why do you think everyone is so miserable? This is something the world fails to teach anybody, something you will have to discover for yourself...
And, believe it or not, there are people with brains in businesses (a heartless person has no brains, they're as stupid and miserable as everyone else, contrary to popular belief). Don't categorize, that's a secure way to failure.
If stem cell is launched, I doubt it will stay American for a very long time. Considering the low quality of American produce, I'd rather give it to Germans...
I ask you this, If the atom bomb was not researched and developed to the point it is at, would it they have been dropped on Hiroshima?
Considering that the bomb was really researched by guys who flew Germany... Germans could have as well had it first.
It's a pretty bad idea to say "If X was not invented". Because there are so many possible consequences behind that, it could get worse. It's like "What if Hitler wasn't there." then, maybe Stalin would take over the world. You never know. Bad argument.
What you're saying reminds me of the doctrine "The less people know, the better." And I'm quite against that doctrine. I want to know everything.
I still do not think you realize the consequences behind this (Pandora's box) that we are attempting to open.
Stop calling something you know little about a Pandora's Box.

It may in fact be the destruction of our species in the long run...
Then that is our fate. In any case, if it will destroy us, it WILL happen, so, instead of being afraid that it will destroy us, we need to "open" it in case it won't to save human lives.

but my speculation right now tells me it will be the first one...
Your speculation? What speculation. I see no speculation. I see "I think", and that's a faulty way to make conclusions.
I see no reason, nor point, to wait. Everything, everywhere, in any situation, will be abused, until we change society, and so far I do not see that happening. So if stem cells cure diseases, do it.
And, as always, dub lucifer, you have nothing to back your opinion with.
You remind me of religious fanatics. They keep saying something is impossible or that something should not be done but can't explain why.
Playing god? I see no such thing here. The purpose of humanity is progress and creation. Medicine is part of our progress. If anything, we are fulfilling our destiny, or we wouldn't be here.

I support stem cells entirely.
