Look up Norman Borlaug in Wikipedia, and what he stood for. There is a link to his Nobel prize anniversary address, in which he makes an absolutely compelling case for the use of genetic engineering. I'll let you discover that for your self.
There are very real social and economic problems regarding genetically manipulated crops, but these also apply to conventionally developed proprietary varieties.

I'm not sure what it is you are asking for. Can you rephrase the question? Seems like the above is already something of a summary given the original story.
I believe China and Russia isnt necessarily an enemy to the US unless the US provokes such threatening actions to Beijing and Moscow. The Chinese Yuan (Chinese currency) is competing against the American Dollar, which the Chinese wants to replace the Dollar to the Yuan as the new international currency. Russia has friendly diplomatic ties to the United States (e.g. START treaty for both country's reduction nuclear arsenals) but like every other country no one generally likes to deal with the Americans Diplomatic wise because the United States is a pain the ass and very stubborn (e.g. Libyan intervention). The Russian Ruble isnt as nearly as worth as the Yuan or Dollar honestly. so the Russians arent competing against the US economically but their economy is growing, especially China's economy. So far im hearing from RT News that the Russians are attempting to try to land on Mars, they are training their astronauts/cosmonauts as we speak. So im guessing Russia is trying to compete through science breakthroughs since NASA is not really doing much now due to spending cuts i believe.
Wonder how many people on this board who are pro embryonic stem cell research have donated their own to the cause? Waiting……………? Pretty easy to create an embryo folks….waiting…………?
Oh, l get it, let the “other” people donate them. Like their is an overabundance of unused out there. I Bet “fresh” is far better than frozen, right? What do you think is next then? Come on, some out here……..
Who on this board will be the first to take their perfectly “unharmed” embryo and implant in their uterus? Waiting……? That would be the ultimate proof, correct? Oh, but I bet you dare.
People are desperate for cures, at any cost. So, to that I say, how many have proponents actually [...]

“As president, John McCain will strongly funding for promising research programs, including amniotic fluid and adult stem cell research and other types of scientific study that do not involve the use of human embryos.”
That IS MOST stem cell research. There IS more stem cell research being done other than those using embryonic stem cells. I do not embryonic stem cell research and I do all the rest . Embryonic stem cell research is the least promising, and at root unethical.

Remotely-tended tissue engineering experiments. Some need recovery. The key factor is reliable launch reservations.If there are customers for these launches, there are already launch vehicles available to serve their needs (such as Pegasus). If those are too expensive, then you are back to the beginning point: there a market.Saying that there is a market is akin to saying there is a huge market for personal teraflop supercomputers. If only the price came down, of course…

What is “silly” about that going to be used by the existing couple being implanted in couples that want a natural pregrancy and child bearing
Someone with more Church Handbook knowledge than me help here; but the “born in the covenant” theory seems to hinge on the “born,” not “conceived,” time period. A child conceived before sealing, but born after sealing (say, for an LDS couple getting sealed after a civil wedding, or new etc) is “born into the covenant.” There is nothing known as “conceived in the covenant.”
While I think this creates a bright-line, stem-cell research is ok, rule for Saints…it cut against it.

Good question John. Can erring on the side of life be a bad thing?
Perhaps it would be more helpful to explore the potential benefits of stem cell research — deciding which side is “the side of life” so easy.
No way.

Once a stem cell line is established from a cell in the body, it is essentially no matter how it was derived. That is, the researcher using the line will not have to go through the rigorous procedure necessary to isolate stem cells again. Once established, a cell line can be grown in the laboratory indefinitely and cells may be frozen for storage or distribution to other researchers.
Stem cell lines grown in the lab provide scientists with the to "engineer" them for use in transplantation or treatment of diseases. For example, before scientists can use any type of tissue, organ, or cell for transplantation, they must overcome attempts by a immune system to reject the transplant. In the future, [...]
Another great blog up on BIOETHICS TODAY by Dr. Ricki Lewis! “Retinal Stem Cells and Eye of Newt”
Is that a promise?
2007 may be the year of the stem cell, but 2008 must be the year the research is finally called what it truly is: Embryonic Destruction Stem Cell Research.
When is Embryonic Stem Cell Research NOT Embryonic Destruction? The broad language of “stem cell research” serves to confuse the listener by not differentiating between the successful adult stem cell research and the unsuccessful and ethically objectionable embryonic stem cell research.
Properly describing this as “Embryonic Destruction Stem Cell Research”, eliminates any possible dispute of the phrase because even with their own words, it is embryonic and destruction. In effect these five simple words reflect the immutable truth.

That section you quoted says to me that John McCain will, from now on, research that does not involve the use of human embryos.
Zach,
answer at Saddleback clearly suggest he will embryonic stem-cell research until a breakthrough comes elsewhere.
WARREN: OK. (APPLAUSE). All right.
Another issue, stem cells. We’ve had the scientific break-through of creating pluri-potent (ph) stem cells through adult stem cells.
MCCAIN: Yes.
WARREN: So would you favor or oppose the federal funding of embryonic stem cell research since we had this other break-through?
MCCAIN: For those of us in the pro-life community this has been a great struggle and a terrible dilemma because we’re also taught other obligations that we have as well. I’ve come down [...]
How about the fake cloning (see below): you could cover how other scientists were conned – and how it impacts science and research.
Scientists fretted Friday that a spectacular cloning fraud that hid in plain sight has set back legitimate stem cell work around the world.
Cloning and stem cell scientists said research in the potentially revolutionary field of regenerative medicine will continue unabated. But they said public confidence in their work had been weakened by a sham branded by as the most visible case of scientific fraud they could recall.
Scientists also struggled to explain how they earlier catch the charismatic South Korean claim in a Science paper published in May that he cloned 11 human embryos to produce [...]

Could not send via e-mail announced: cnnnews/LarryKing.
Stem cell research is critical. Researchers have had their hands tied
for years. Opponents must look beyond their religious or fixed bias
and think of the good new cures could do. Time to move into the
21st Century.
Why did Larry King and the President not mention the diligent pro-stem
cell fight of Michael J. Fox? He,too, has marched on Congress.
Christopher Reeves became a real-life Superman.
President Obama is incredibly brave. This is a cause for which we all
should fight.

Thanks – The group working with in biomedical engineering is going to be a highly interdisciplinary approach to studying two things. First, and primarily, be studying the motility and survival of mouse neural progenitor cells, with an eye on neurogenesis in the adult injured CNS. Secondarily, be helping to develop an in vitro model of vasculogenesis, involving 3D gels and HUVECs, and with an eye towards the principles of vascularization in development and tissue engineering. quite excited about both projects!
Think it possible one day through tissue engineering to do the same with humans?

You should consult a doctor or scientist of regenerative medicine.
Human beings DO grow back tips of fingers, especially very young children under the age of 1. It is very rare in adults – but there is a news of a man who has grown his finger tip back. I dont know what extent of damage you have, but lose hope – definitely consult a doctor of regenerative medicine – it is it to get your finger tip back. Look at the source links below.
You can research the topic by typing words such as "regenerative medicine" , "tissue engineering", "stem cells" , "grow limbs" , "regrow fingers", etc.
The biological scaffold that gives structure to a valve after its cellular material has been removed can be freeze-dried and stored for later use as a tissue-engineered replacement valve to treat a failing as described in an in Tissue Engineering, C: Methods, a peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Inc.

Phish view Did you know that fish eyes grow through their lives because they have retinal stem cells and we don’t?
well, normally when a baby develops it as a single cell, which multiplies itself several several times. those cells eventually "specialize" and become things like cells" or "brain cells" or "liver cells". the problem is that some cells after specializing multiply like the did originally. brain cells for instance. because of this onces the cells are gone they coming back. this is why brain and spinal cord injury is such a nasty thing, the damage stays with the person, no new healing.
a stem cell is one that specialized yet, and thus can become a new cell of any type. if research pans out, we should be able to treat the injuries i spoke of earlier.
now there are a [...]
