I would’ve said Ditto. “Ditto, today is like to bang that girl with the bike.”

Reply to comment by Moskau50 in ELI5 Why aren't we curing more degenerative diseases with stem cell research? by KaishiXYZ
Of course, people will eventually become I’ll with something, but what I’m thinking is that things like Crohn’s or some kind of organ/nerve damage could be better handled potentially decreasing the number of hospital visits, medication needs, and the domino effect that follows. Time lost from those visits decreasing quality of life. Meds taking their toll on the liver. Just because we can’t “fix” everything, we should do more than treat symptoms.

You’re one of those people, huh? Completely ignore the context of the “conversation” to prove something that wasn’t brought up.

The ethics of harvesting the cells has been a pretty big issue. Someone started saying they come from aborted babies and that dude went with it. Stem cells could literally be harvested from the placenta and umbilical, some not so good cells from adults too. Here’s another thing: healthy people is not good for business in the pharmaceutical world. If you use something that’s too effective you won’t need to buy more of the less effective stuff.

Reply to TIL that the Ishmael books by Daniel Quinn inspired Morgan Freeman's involvement with nature documentaries. by J_S_M_K
These books were amazing and eye opening for me. Really got me to think logically and more about accountability.
“The Man Who Grew Young” was a cool little graphic too.

They really are. My Ishmael was my favorite. In Ishmael, I was just so angry at the narrator for being so clueless; “I guess I never thought about it”, “we don’t have myths”, and all that. Then I realized, “oh shit. He’s the general population!”
