If you don't know the difference between a fetus, a embryo, a blastocyst or a fertilized egg, and what is going on at that point you have absolutely no business trying to discuss it beyond the most vague terms. If you have such a strong opinion that you feel the need to voice it here do some reading first and then come back.
I'll even do the first google for ya...

Now when you have a grasp of cell differentiation, and development and what that bill you posted entails, come back. |
I was simply referring to your analysis of the section of the bill I posted:
Quote:
The bill: (1) The stem cells were derived from human embryos that have been donated from in vitro fertilization clinics, were created for the purposes of fertility treatment, and were in excess of the clinical need of the individuals seeking such treatment.
Your analysis: These stem cells are pretty much worthless for any disease research, its basically nothing beyond an egg. They are totally non-differentiated, and there isn't much we can do with them except let them differentiate, aka develop. This is very useful for the study of cloning (an identical twin is a natural clone) but won't make M.J. Fox stop shaking.

You are absolutely correct that I have no expertise in cell biology.
I do understand the public policy process fairly well, which requires interested observers, including members of Congress who ultimately make the decisions, to objectively evaluate the testimony and analysis of the experts on this or any subject up for public debate. I choose to give more credence to experts other than you.
