You should become president so we can all research stem cells and save thousands of lives that should of died and fuck up the world balance even worse.




That doesn't make sense, on more levels than one.

First off, "should have died"? That is like stating "I was driving for a cliff, and I shouldn't have steered the other way, because I should have died!".

Exactly what mechanism judges whether or not one "should" die? :confused:

Ever heard of cause and effect? Balance remains, no matter what.

IMO any medical help besides applying pressure to a bleeding wound or maybe a little antiseptic is bad.




What do you mean? These are exceptions, situations where medical help can be applied? But...

People need to die


!

If we let them bleed, or let them become infected, they would die. After all, people need to die! :wtf:

Quote:


, or else eventually we will be forced to kill off people when the world becomes horribly over populated.




Who says the world will become over populated because people live longer? Your mere speculation isn't an arguement agansit stem cell research.

Quote:


After the resources run out people living longer than they should of  is eventually going to kill more people than what should have died naturally in the first place.




Who says resources have to run out? Simply because you fantasize events taking place in a certain manner does not mean that reality will actually occur as such.

I cannot help but comment on the limited short-sightedness of this comment. :wtf:

Improved medical care = massive overpopulation, famine, disease, and death?

Yes, that is why first world countries' populations are dying of starvation and plague, and third world countries in Africa are living the high life. :rolleyes:

Well if a person is in need of some stem cells then it is probably time for them to make room for someone that has some.

I already stated before why I think too much medical technology can cause problems.

If ten peoples lives are saved by stem cell research dosnt that mean there will be ten too many people on this planet tommorow? Eventually all them tens will rack up to dangerous amounts.


I didnt fantasize about anything everyone knows that disease spreads faster when populations are bunched up close together. And when there are so many people that every square inch of the planet is covered in concrete where the hell are we going to grow food? And dont say something dumb like water and geolite.

People don't need stem cells. Stem cells can be considered "blank" cells that can be utilized to create other cells. That's the most simplified explanation that I can think of, I personally don't read into it. :wink:

Quote:

What's the difference between the United States and Ethiopia? Between Europe right now and during the Dark Ages? Medical technology?

Quote:

No? If someone cuts themself accidentally, and we bandage it up, won't that be one person too many on the planet tomorrow? Same difference.

It isn't as if current birth-rate trends would continue as they are now, either. The more one's life expectancy increases, the older they are before they reproduce, generally.

Quote:

Possibly, but I doubt it.

Quote:

Everyone also knows that an increase in medical technology means the ability to prevent and treat more disease.

Quote:

No one stated that the planet was going to be covered in concrete. The mannes in which we derive energy for ourselves to consume can change in the future, as well. A plant obtains its energy directly from the Sun, you know. With increases in medical technology, who is to say that we couldn't do so, as well? Do you realize what that would mean? :thumbup:

All of the highly populated places Ive ever been to everything i seen was concrete sitting on top of concrete, and i imagine this practice wont fade for a long time, people will always hate mud.

Actually, one big contributor to population growth, especially among those least able to care for their kids, is religion.

The infallible Pope insists that using any kind of contraceptive (including pills, pulling out, IUDs, and condoms) is a sin. This ignorant mysticism contributes not only to overpopulation and misery in the third world, but to HIV and other STDs everywhere.

So much for belief in things that don't exist.

1) You can't get married to your spouse who is the same sex as you.
2) You can't have an abortion no matter how much you don't want a child.
3) You can't have a certain plant in your possession or you'll get locked up with a rapist and a murderer.

4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.

To add to your argument, Christianity is the most popular religion on earth, by far. 33% of the world is Christian. 2,019,052,000 people are Christian, according to the 2002 Encyclopedia Britannica. Islam is second with 1.2 billion, (19.7%), then Hinduism with 819 thou, No Religion with 771 thousand. With 33% of the world's population, I find it very likely that a comparable portion of people do not practice birth control and therefore contribute to population growth.

What I'm trying to say is that a world without massive trust in false ideas would be better than ours.

"What I'm trying to say is that a world without massive trust in false ideas would be better than ours. "

Yep. How about massive trust in each other? I like that a lot more than convincing myself to believe in an invinsible god.

Don't take it personally. Some people can only handle a little truth...some none at all.

"A warrior is a hunter. He calculates everything. That's control. Once his calculations are over, he acts. He lets go. That's abandon. A warrior is not a leaf at the mercy of the wind. No one can push him; no one can make him do things against himself or against his better judgment. A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda
