Progress in science has always been hindered by skeptics.
I am a prolifer and if research helps humanity than is a prolife measure.

For the record, according to the National Human Genome Research Institute, it would take approximately 1.5 billion eggs to cure an individual (this varies by disease). So, for all of you who believe that stem cell research will save millions, is horribly mistaken.

I liked this article.Strong words, real arguments. I think the same.

Fun fact, the United States does not use the stem-cells of aborted fetuses, it is a common misconception. In reality labs use leftover embryos from IVF implantations that would have gone into medical waste if they were not used for research.

This is horribly biased. All I want to know is does it really kill embroys or have they found alternative ways because another website said something else.

concentrate your energy on the actual IVF clinics where the embryos are created. this is hypocritical, because the labs aren’t the problem, the clinics are. If you really want to stop the destruction of embryos that’s where you need to go; the source of it all.

this whole article is worthless we dont need to destroy “life” any more we can turn adult skin cells into embrionic stem cells!!!!

This article is so bias. Stem cell research can save millions of lives. It can cure diseases and help the sick. Stem cells can be obtained by umbilical cords and other methods. Whether if it’s killing an “individual” is defined by the eye of the beholder.
“And if killing for the greater good is justified, then why not kill terminally ill patients or inmates on death row?” I do not believe these are the same things here.
I think it is more “evil” to prevent finding cures for the suffering millions and the future generation of millions who will suffer as well.

Stem cells can also come from the umbilical cords and extraction of these cells does not hurt the baby. Therefore, we should all support research in stem cells.

I agree with obamas desicion 100% i am not christian or do i consider myself any other faith but useing human embrotic cells unless thier not making them for the purpose of destroying them i dont see the ethical issue the abored fetus that is going to be discared of anyway can be made use of same with female eggs that would normally e discarded can now be put to use. and i agree with James above this article is horriblely bias
