Stem Cell Research

Hi, I'm Hannah and I've recently become a member here. I'm 17 and have had CF all my life. I've taken a great interest in science over the past couple of years, and hope to pursue a career in biotechnology, with emphesis on stem cell research and genetic engeneering. For anyone who doesn't know (if you already know a good amount about stem cells, you can skip ahead and ignore my lesson), stem cells are the tiny cells that make up a zygote (first stage of fertilized egg) that have the potential of becomming any type of cell in the human body. These stem cells can be used for genetic engeneering, and have the potential of curing or greatly improving the treatment of CF. There is some controversy however, surrounding stem cells. Many think that because the zygote is killed when extracting the cells, "its killing a human".

Now that i've bored you, I'm really interested in hearing the opinion of people who are actually affected by CF, particularly those who have a christian background. I think it's easy for a politican to say "stem cells are wrong because they kill babies" when they are most likely not affected by a disease that could be cured with them.

If I haven't dropped enough oh-so-suttle hints yet, I am totally for stem cells, but i'm also torn by the idea of "sacrificing one human for another". The scientific part of me wants to say that a tiny ball of cells is not human life-it doesn't have any thoughts, it doesn't have a heartbeat, and more that 50% of the same type of balls of cells are destroyed naturally in (natural) pregnancy, not to mention the 40,000 others in freezers all across the globe in firtility clinics right now. The "born and raised (until recently) christian" part of me, the part that my parents are pushing me into, is saying that "life begins at conception"

I would really like to get some feed-back from people who are affected by CF about stem cell research. Are you for it? against it? why, why not? Anything you have to say i would LOVE LOVE LOVE to hear from you. I don't really get how this site works yet, but you can reply on the message board or email me at:

Ban8han@aol.com

I really appreciate you taking your time to read my rediculiously long blog, and i apologize for my spelling, its really late, and i'm really lazy <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Thanks again, i look forward to hearing about anything anyone has to say (even if ur telling me i'm crazy)

Well, I have cystic fibrosis and I am against stem cell research. My reasons are purely scriptural, such as Isaiah 49:1 "The Lord called me from the womb; from the body of my mother He named me." or Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you."

Now, on the scientific side of things, I agree it is difficult to see a collection of emryonic cells as human, but as it says, 'We look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:18

When does the soul enter into a human? I do not think it is possible to research this scientifically, since science deals with things that are seen, the things of this earth. A soul, however, is something that is not seen; it is spiritual, so it follows we can only research the soul by spiritual means.

Becuase I have this veiw, I also have these words to live by, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake shall find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?" Matthew 16:24-26

Of course, as a christian, my view on researching a cure for cf, or for any disease is perhaps different from most people. As it says, "Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying day by day, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
"For we know that if the earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For indeed in this house we groan, longing to be clothed with our dwelling from heaven, inasmuch as we, having put it on, will not be found naked. For indeed while we are in this tent, we groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed but to be clothed, so that which is mortal may be swallowed up by life. Now he who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave to us the Spirit as a pledge.
Therefore, alsways being of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord-- for we walk by faith, not by sight-- we are of good courage, I say, and prefer to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord. Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18, 5:1-9

This is not to say I think it is wrong to search for a cure, but simply that it is toward the bottom of my list of priorities.

For indeed while we are in this tent, we groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed but to be clothed, so that which is mortal may be swallowed up by life. Now he who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave to us the Spirit as a pledge.
Therefore, alsways being of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord-- for we walk by faith, not by sight-- we are of good courage, I say, and prefer to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord. Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18, 5:1-9

This is not to say I think it is wrong to search for a cure, but simply that it is toward the bottom of my list of priorities.

Im the mother of a three year old with cf. You know they are saying now that steam cell reacher can be done from the cord of a baby. You don't have to necessarly take a life.

I think it is something that the gov. needs to look into.

I'm not sure where you get them, but what about adult stem cells? Is that what you get from cord blood?
