I personally believe that embryonic stem cell research is an important investment for the future. Stem cells are cells that are able to develop into different types of cells. Stems cells have the potential to be used to cure many diseases. There are also other uses for stem cells like organ repairs. Even though they would be so beneficial, there is an ethical debate. I believe that it is ethical and that it is something that should be done. There is a huge debate over the ethics of stem cell research. There are many sides of the ethical debate; there are four main arguments. First one being that embryo is considered a living person from fertilization on. Secondly, an embryo is considered a human after fourteen days, because the central

Embryonic stem cells are stem cells taken from human embryos. Embryonic stem cells are even better than stem cells taken from adults; adult stem cells can only do so much, but embryonic stem cells are able to develop into any cell type and can multiply almost infinitely. Because of their abilities, they can be used to repair organs. There is even work on trying to use stem cells to make entire organs. If stem cells are continued to be research, many diseases, like alzheimer’s and diabetes, could be cured. This could revolutionize the medical field and save many lives. Stems cells are necessary to improve the future of the human …show more content…
Some argue that stem cell research will end up like nuclear research; I don't believe that stem cells can really be directly used as weapons of mass destruction. Others claim that stem cells are overstated, but with research, most of the things they are saying are possible. A huge argument is that they are trying to play god, implying one exists, but they are just trying to advance the medical field. Many are misinformed in saying that adult stem cells are the same a embryonic stem cells; embryonic stems cells are able to turn into any type of cell, but adult stem cells are more limited. Embryonic stem cell research has little actual
