The Code has declared. “No experiment should be conducted where there is an a priori reason to believe that death or disabling injury will occur...” (Doerflinger par. 5). This code claims that because embryonic stem cell research is involved with the destruction of a human, it should be prohibited to do such a thing for research. After this code was established, many declarations, including the Helsinki declaration, went along with prohibiting harm against all human beings. The Helsinki declaration asserted that this principle includes those who cannot stand up for themselves, hence including embryos (Doerflinger par. 8). Another protester, Klusendorf, argues that, “The extraction of stem cell from human embryos requires the killing of a human being which in results the destruction of defenseless human beings. Therefore, it is morally wrong.” (par. 20). Klusendorf is basically saying that what can turn into a potential human being shouldn’t be killed even if it doesn’t have a
