should the goverment direct more federal funds to this field of research (y/n)? yes
what is ur view on stem cell research (select one):
should be studied
which candidates views do u support regarding stem cell research bush/kerry/nader/none Definitely not Bush. I've been searching for the past 15 minutes to find what Nader's stance is and I've found nothing, except a sentence from an article that essentially said he's not too into the idea of federal funding? Which is surprising, because he's Nader. But, maybe my research was half-assed, so somebody correct me if I'm wrong. I do know and agree with Kerry's position, though, so, my answer is KERRY
what criteria should be met for human embryonic stem cells before federal funds are used to begin research? select all that apply
no criteria needed. all embryonic stem cells are eligible for the donation of federal funds.
(I'm not entirely sure what the difference between this and the one right before it is)
ranking: which branch of stem cell research do u believe will have the most sucess in funding a cure for terminal diseases? 1. human embryonic stem cells 2. adult stem cells 3. animal stem cells (I don't know enough about animal stem cell research to know if it should rank #2 instead of adult stem cells, but I'll just leave it how it is.)
rank the importance of stem cell research against other fields of reseasrch:
1. stem cell research 2. deep sea studies 3. study of the universe (lol, I was torn between deep sea and universe, but I think that's my final answer.)
open ended questions:
is finding a cure for terminal disease through the study of stem cell research a feasible goal, why/why not? Yes, it's a feasible goal, as far as I know and as far as anybody else knows. This is a relatively new process that was unfortunately stopped short by Bush's constraints only a few years after the ability to experiment with embryonic cells was realized. The only way to know if cures are possible is to continue with research, and research needs funding. Even if a cure can't be found, stem cells are good for other things (production of tissue) and just further understanding of how we function. It's worth it.
is it necessary for the goveremnt to direct federal funds to this field of research, why/ why not? Yes. Sort of answered in the above question. (Researchers often need federal funding to support their procedures/laboratories) Also, if the opportunity is real (and it is) we need to progress as a society and improve quality of life for humans, not stand idly for the upcoming decades, fearing to move forward because of unfeasible moral barriers.
