Re: US approves 1st stem cell study for spinal injury

Other countries have been doing this for years. There were some ethical issues due to which USA has hesitated to participate.

Re: US approves 1st stem cell study for spinal injury

ya ethical yes...but it is also like republic and democrat thingee.

Re: US approves 1st stem cell study for spinal injury

more like republican and democrats thingie than ethics...verna kahan USA aur kahan ethics. the only ethic they believe in is waging illegal wars against other countries on faulty/cooked-up info.

They wage war to provide millions of citizen with new economic uprising and well payed jobs **.

btw this also means allowing abortion.
so yeah saieen could be right that ethics ko khuday line lao.

Whats the problem with abortion? Allah clearly says in Quran:

"And kill not anyone whom Allah has forbidden, except for a just cause" (Al-Isra' 17:33)

[/QUOTE]

Now there is a difference of opinion among the Muslim jurists about its shari ruling. Some of them allowed it and others prohibited it depending on the stage of pregnancy.

But Islamic ruling/thinking doesn't matter to most of citizen of America, it might be unethical to republican voters only.
