Transhumanism: New Religion Or Old Idea?

Adult stem cells help paralyzed woman walk again

NationalRightToLifeNews.org | Claire Chretien | FEB 9, 2018

Dominguez-Tauer was in a car accident when she was 16. It paralyzed her from the neck down. She underwent an experimental procedure using her own adult stem cells and is now able to walk with the help of a walker.

“The stem cell procedure made my upper body a lot stronger and I can feel my entire body now,” Dominguez-Tauer said in the new video. “It was pretty awesome – it was incredible.”

“I absolutely believe in the power of adult stem cells,” she said.

Since her accident and recovery, Dominguez-Tauer has gotten married, had a baby boy, and started a gym called Beyond the Chair. Beyond the Chair provides long-term assistance for people recovering from spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and strokes so that they can “achieve their highest functional outcome.”

The video shows Dominguez-Tauer exercising, standing and moving her legs with assistance, and caring for her son, Joshua Michael. She called him a “blessing” and a “game-changer.”

“Laura rightly rejected the initial gloomy prognosis that could have robbed her of her future had she given up,” said Dr. David Prentice, Vice President and Research Director of CLI. “Adult stem cells have shown validated success in treating the most intractable conditions – not only spinal cord injury, but stroke, autoimmune disease, cancer, and more.” Read more

...and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind ... the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind ...the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. -Genesis 1

Flesh and Bone and The Protestant Conscience is an e-book on Amazon.com. It is 99¢ and in the Amazon lending library as well. It is also available here in PDF format. The book description follows.

Would you let your conscience be your guide?

Does God care if the skin and bone of the dead are passed along to the living for medical uses? Is organ donation OK with God? Should you sign a Living Will?

Did you know that dead organ donors are often anesthetized before their organs are removed? Do you know the current definition of death? The conscience cannot function without facts.

As we ponder the ethics of in vitro fertilization, stem cell research and man-made chimeras, our thoughts trail off. How then should we live? (Ez 33:10)

How should a Christian think about euthanasia by starvation when doctors and the state attorney general all agree it is time to withhold feeding from a brain injured patient? Some things are family matters, but someday it may be our family.

Here is a small book to help you think about whether you want to sign your driver's license, donate a kidney, cremate your loved one, and many other practical questions that may arise in the course of your healthcare decisions or watch over others.

It offers a special focus on the doctrine of the Resurrection that is related to such decisions. Sunday School classes and Bible Study groups could use this book to facilitate discussion about the issues covered.
