If she is dieing I really don't see anything wrong with using it. Stem cell research doesn't bother me because the embryos used are donated and if the mother didn't want them then it is fine. It never was a human so I thinks it's ok to use it.BenEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05555090888767027883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34868673.post-1163372981812104762006-11-12T15:09:00.000-08:002006-11-12T15:09:00.000-08:00do the liver. a cloned liver to save a life who could argue with that. is it really such a big deal that were taking a bunch cells from an embryo who would have never seen the light of day anyway, i mean if you die you can donate tyour organs your giving thatm to the world but if you get an abortion you cant give your slimy unborn fetus to science i dont see the logic in that. so just get the freaking liver.JoshN325http://www.blogger.com/profile/16837389327700922269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34868673.post-1163300522756599192006-11-11T19:02:00.000-08:002006-11-11T19:02:00.000-08:00i think that this would be very hard to deal with, but i think i would tell her that if she loved her life and she wanted to live it to the fullest until she was 100, all the way to the end, i would tell her to do it because i know i wouldnt be ready to let her go, let alone what her family would have to go thru.Rachel mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11474283063401324108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34868673.post-1163179731720247162006-11-10T09:28:00.000-08:002006-11-10T09:28:00.000-08:00i would tell her that this opperation could save her life and if she wanted to wait there was the possibility that time could run out before she gets the transplant. cloning isn't a bad thing espesialy when it could save your life.

The embryo's used to get stem cells are no where near developed, and its not really like killing little baby. If it was the only way my friend could survive I would want her to do it because a cloned liver o is better than nothing when your life depends on it.JordanShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08266761502410366849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34868673.post-1163179210559942732006-11-10T09:20:00.000-08:002006-11-10T09:20:00.000-08:00I would tell her to take the cloned liver. The emryo was made up of living cells, but it wasn't a live human being so it isn't murder to use it for science. Plus, this emryo could have been taken from a woman who would have gotten an abortion anyway. So instead of losing two lives, only one is lost.declanhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11783003748951106579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34868673.post-1163179140040679342006-11-10T09:19:00.000-08:002006-11-10T09:19:00.000-08:00I would tell her that if she wants to live that she should clone the liver, the embryo would probably have been removed from an abortion.

I would not have any problem with them cloning my body parts. I think it would be cool.

But if my friend did ask me what he/she should do i'd tell them what i believe and see what they think. I would say that this is a life and death situation and it is very important we clone this so you can live. Waiting for a liver would take time and money and we need to get you one soon so i would try to convince them for my sake to go ahead with the cloning of the livermattAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01997137032640012377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34868673.post-1163136916108845012006-11-09T21:35:00.000-08:002006-11-09T21:35:00.000-08:00I would tell her to go through with the cloned liver because it's pretty much her only chance at survival and of course i would want her to live.Hannahghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13870583569991498913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34868673.post-1163134474421582372006-11-09T20:54:00.000-08:002006-11-09T20:54:00.000-08:00Since my friend has developed a life of relationships, accomplishments, and (with medical help) has the hope of a future, I would tell the friend that the cell cloned for their liver dose not have a life with these aspects, therefore, it would be closer to murder (or suicide) to refuse this medical option and lose their life rather that ending a non-existent life.Emma Rhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01582464059046069368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34868673.post-1163132855691654632006-11-09T20:27:00.000-08:002006-11-09T20:27:00.000-08:00I don't really understand why this would be unethical in her book, unless she is incredibally religous (Which she might be) i would argue that there is nothing wrong with using stem cells if it will save her life and if she doesn't take that option than she must have extreme emotional issues and she really just wants to dump the pressure on me and i would tell her. Otherwise, if she is religous than my approach to convince her to go along with the cloning procedure would be to say that if God didn't want you to live he would have had you stumble in front of an oncoming bus instead of giving you a chance to live.Rileyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04118207277601396282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34868673.post-1163132085017327822006-11-09T20:14:00.000-08:002006-11-09T20:14:00.000-08:00If my friend were capable of recieving the liver without many risks I would say go for it.

While there is the possibility that something could go wrong, there is also the possibility that everything could go right. However, it's way easier just to say this stuff than it would be to make the decision in real life.timshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10114196128868810816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34868673.post-1163128149112599632006-11-09T19:09:00.000-08:002006-11-09T19:09:00.000-08:00I would tell my friend that it would ultimately be his decision on whether or not he/she wanted to go through with the cloned liver. I agree with Hannah D that he/she should consult people closest to her, like her family members rather than a friend. In my opinion this is an easy decision, why would there be any debate on whether or not you should live or die? I would definitely take the cloned liver and live rather than die. When a person has only so long to live, why worry about morals when it is a matter of life and death?SashaDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05213049871497359696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34868673.post-1163125597452157402006-11-09T18:26:00.000-08:002006-11-09T18:26:00.000-08:00I would tell my friend to get the cloned liver. She has a 50/50 chance of it working. And most chance are that it will work. She also has no other choice. Either she dies waiting or takes the chance and lives. But, she is the one who has to chose if she wants to live or die.donnaThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10923421094430016966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34868673.post-1163124595551945092006-11-09T18:09:00.000-08:002006-11-09T18:09:00.000-08:00I think that I would have to tell my friend to go ahead and give the cells to have her liver cloned. It would be well worth it, an embryo is the potential for life more than it is a life it is not a concius being, and to let a concius being die just because you dont think it is right to use an embryo, is more murder than it is to kill the embryo.C Newmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15624288357687299676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34868673.post-1163120616047521032006-11-09T17:03:00.000-08:002006-11-09T17:03:00.000-08:00I don't find it a hard decision, i maybe be against the stem cell research, but it's in avaliablity, why not? There is a love there, of course, and you'd do anything. The liver is there, why not go for it, the liver has already been created, it is done. too late now. But you must face whether or not to save another's life or going with your personal and maybe political beliefs. I seriously fail to see how a person could not take the created liver.Trent Whttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12127104835954475782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34868673.post-1163116930770057882006-11-09T16:02:00.000-08:002006-11-09T16:02:00.000-08:00I would tell her to take the procedure to save her life.

The only thing I would be afraid of is that the scientist that figure out the embryo to a point that they can make clones of people that they would mis use it.Jordan L.http://www.blogger.com/profile/06126042939573620247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34868673.post-1163114250155297642006-11-09T15:17:00.000-08:002006-11-09T15:17:00.000-08:00I would tell her to get the transplant because she still wants to live and if she waits any longer she may not live to see another day. I know that some people are against cloning and if she was i would suggest waiting for a donor, but I would rather have a cloned liver than dying.AustinFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00841710192896198040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34868673.post-1163109197282174112006-11-09T13:53:00.000-08:002006-11-09T13:53:00.000-08:00I would say that she will die if she doesn't do it so yes she should.

Well it would depend. We would have to talk over the decision, and exactly why she was confused with it. In the end i would ask her to take the liver, but i would ask, not pressure, or try to force, in the end it is compleatly her decsion.*carley*http://www.blogger.com/profile/04175863859635383727noreply@blogger.com
