For many people embryonic stem cell research is immoral and should be eliminated as it disrespects the purity of life, has seen widespread disapproval from traditionalists for not being freely supported, and they feel it is useless because other options are available. However, many believe that embryonic stem cell research can put an end to the suffering of children, parents and people. Likewise people feel that stem cell research is immorally slaughtering potential human beings, while other people supported by science and research feel that these are not active life forms until they reach a certain stage. In this essay I will explain what stem cells and embryonic stem cells are and how important they are to humanity. I will explain the controversy behind embryonic stem cell research and how many Americans think this is not a necessary way to obtain stem cells. While there are many potential uses of embryonic stem cell research, some still believe there is a better option available to those looking at the issue from a medicinal perspective. Additionally, both activists and libertarians are looking for ways to get the bill passed by President Barack Obama overturned. Abortions also play an important role in embryonic stem cell research, another inhumane way of discarding human life. It is necessary to take into account the religious part of this research and how some may think that scientists are trying to play God by cloning humans and animals. Experiencing family death due to heart and kidney problems, I can understand a person looking at this from an emotional point of view and supporting research. There are many pros and cons and tons of controversy related to embryo research. Stem cells are common cells f... middle of paper... another lab has figured out a way to turn the normal human skin cell into what appears to be an embryonic stem cell. This could perhaps be the end of the war against humanity and open up new possibilities for this research. In conclusion, stem cell research itself has caused a great debate in politics, questioned ethics, morality, humanity and every other aspect of this issue. flourishing dispute. As you search for this information and discover all the possibilities and potential uses of this research, your emotions become stirred because you may have lost a family member to some of the diseases that this research can cure. For example, I lost my uncle, who was like a father to me, to a heart attack, something that could have been avoided with this research. So while this debate is great, I think it has to be about the person's mindset.
