THE STEM CELL RESEARCH.( A FALSE HOPE)

The human body is like a car, it has a life span. But the scientists are frantically doing research to prolong life. A car near a sea coast gets eroded fast, a highway vehicle life is short due to accidents, car of smaller towns and villages last longer even though the garage is far off. The costliest car also needs revalidation after 15 years in India. Human body (normal one without defects) and organs are manufactured to last for certain period of time and that is the life span of a human body. There are some factors which determine the longevity of that body.
1. Circuit diagram ( gene)
2. Make( Indian, Negro, Mongolians, British, German etc.)
3. Place of stay( polluted towns, colder climate, hot areas, villages)
4. Maintenance (daily routine)
5. How handled (habits)
6. Type of oil and grease used( cooking media , air, food)
7. Accidents (stroke, heart attacks)
8. Driver (soul)
9. Road condition (life style)
10. Type of mechanic (medical facilities).

Still then we think we should live for 200 years or more! Most of the constructive work is done being done by 30 to 50 years of life then living beyond 90 or 100 years carries no meaning unless some one is still active both physically and mentally. What ever we try death if the ultimate truth so why live a borrowed life? With bypass, pacemaker, transplants etc! Let the old people give way to the new ones. Just to site some example, if 100 new ones come to earth may be one or two become excellent scientist, writer, player, doctor but after 60 or70??We don’t expect a brilliant personality to develop one out of a million old men.

People think we are living longer. No we are not dying early due to communicable diseases that does not mean we are living longer. Life span is 100 to 120 years at best, so why these stem cell research to prolong life? Diseased person is like a defective material so why spend so much?
Every day newer technology kills (younger, productive men and women) more people than it saves. Surprised?? Those people getting killed due to guns, bombs, accidents, violence, blasts are much more than life saved by bye pass or transplants or by modern technique. Remember those people getting killed in war and arms race are young and fit people where as life saved by newer technique are mostly older people.
We tried and succeeded in reducing tobacco use globally so why not stop producing arms and ammunitions globally?? Can the best brain of the world answer this??
How pathetic!! Female feticide, abortions are carried out in broad day light but we show our concern for human cruelty, what double standard!!

The bottom line is where there is plenty of money one finds the researchers in queue on that field.
You legalize gay marriage and donate billion for AIDS vaccine.
Encourage sexuality and legalize abortions.
Get heart attacks due to poor life style and go for stem cell implant!!
Allow people to live up to very old age so that you have scope for nailing of bones, putting pace maker, kidney transplants for a better medical practice and more money.

Come on scientist don’t produce a problem and then try to solve it. Why bird flu could not be checked early? Why AIDS could not be controlled even after 24 years?? It only speaks volumes of our double standards.

Diabetes and hypertension has now reached an epidemic proportion in Asia. More people will die because of these two non communicable diseases than other diseases put together. But who cares- Insulin has have become a big business in India and China.

Instead of meddling with medical fantasy, let’s first know how to live properly and lead a healthy and happy life, not a borrowed life from scientists.
