    @thestrangest Going to mars doesn't mean interstellar and mars is not a viable place to survive.

    Ok. Interplanetary*

    It will become a viable place to live after simple modifications

    It's not going to be good option to live there.

    WHY

    Just look at your statement and see how many times you have used the words "Likely".

    K. I didn't but sure

    It shows that they are not confirmed to happen.

    WHAT is not confirmed to happen. In my 1st statement i only said "Definitely". We are definitely going to mars, curing aging, becoming able to do advanced genetic modification and what else did i say. As long as nothing horrible happens before the end of the 23rd century all of that will definitely happen

    Then what are you arguing against? I said,

    When we are talking about these things, things that are prevalent now, we should only use things that are confirmed and supported.

    WE ARE

    They're unlikely. Being f'd by AI is much more likely

    Why are they unlikely? Are you sure about the probability? Are you suggesting that you have something that supports your belief that those are unlikely?

    You made the statement. You have the burden of proof to say that they're likely

    Who cares about this possibility

    How many dystopian novels have you read? If such class hierarchy is going to exist, common people won't most probably get enough of their basic needs.

    The population on mars won't be big enough for such a possibility anyways. Would it

    simple modifications

    Yeah, a Simple modification that requires planning and execution that would require at least 200 hundred years. For one, it doesn't have an atmosphere, then it's doesn't have a magnetic field and also, the temperature variation is too high. We can set up base stations on mars but we won't be able to make it into a habitual planet.

    That's just a speculation. It might take longer. Then again, 300 years is too long of a time. With the current direction the world is going on, it way too long. There's a lot of chance for many things to go wrong within that time period. I said that it would take more than 200 years but actually, it's just the time required to pump enough CO2 and other stuff to melt its polar ice caps. There's a chance that the artificial atmosphere won't hold up. Even if it holds up, there' nothing one can do about the missing magnetic field.

    Didn't i say " X will happen,.... Y will happen and L will happen ASLONG AS NOTHING HORRIBLY BAD HAPPENS before X date" like a hundred times

    500 years would not be much. If going interplanetary on a planet where we can comfortably stay takes 1000 years it would be good enough. My point is that aslong as we move some people to mars even if they can't live there comfortably then we won't go extinct if something bad happens on earth

    YES

    You said that they are holding it back but how?

    Banning government funding in the US for like 10 years, having religious leaders like the pope being against embryonic stem cell research, and still having "religious activists" working against it . Watch the fucking vids I'm not an expert on this shit

    Are they actively preventing or disturbing the research?

    YES

    I said that I'm not able to find any source for it. I'm repeating your statement to yourself.

    The videos are notable sources from the first video being a neurologist and philosopher talking about the topic and the others coming from science shows. They all say that about religion. You should fucking watch them instead of asking questions already answered in them. All i know is that government funding was banned for like 10 years for religious motives starting from when G. Bush signed the ban to when Obama lifted it, that there are still protests against the research today, that muslim leaders are against the whole idea of stem cell research and that the pope is against embryonic stem cell research

    You made the statement. You have the burden of proof

    You are contradicting yourself again.

    NO. You do not pull the "burden of proof" card o justify your ignorance on a topic 8/10 adults know about. You are being obnoxious. The videos were generous enough. If you are too lazy to watch them? Good for you. You want text to read? Look for it yourself

    https://www.nature.com/articles/21942

    If you read it, you would find that although the opposition was started by 100 anti-aborters, where a portion of them was basing it on religion, it was successful only because they had the support of many doctors. The supporters of that protest include the former commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a former surgeon general, director of the Center for Clinical Bioethics at Georgetown University, Washington DC, and a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore.

    That protest was successful due to a lack of research and information.

    You are citing a counter-counter-argument against a counter-argument which was an argument against your statement. You can't cite something like that when we are talking about your statement; not you counter-statement.

    Btw out of the three examples, only the first one has actively responsible for the underdevelopment of the research (which I have shown that religion was not the primary reason for its success) and other two are just "Opposing" it. They are just showing their disapproval. They are not cutting funds or destroying lab.


  • @thestrangest You haven't even read the article. So, you have any power to give out assumptions that all of them are religious. If you got to say that, give us the proof.

    and Non-religious reasons you ask, Here you go, (These are direct quotes from the article)

    The statement was coordinated by the Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity in Bannockburn, Illinois. It was released at a press conference at which Senator Sam Brownback (Republican, Kansas) said that research on human embryonic stem cells is “immoral, illegal and unnecessary”.

    Young, who served as FDA commissioner under President Ronald Reagan, compared the development of cell and tissue therapies from embryonic stem cells to the making of saddles from human skins by Nazi Germans.

    John Gearhart, a professor of obstetrics and gynaecology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, says it is unproven that stem cells from adult tissue can generate all the tissues of the body.
