Ethical Dilemmas Of Embryos: Taking Stem Cells In Everyday Life

Disability is a physical or mental disadvantage that limits a person’s senses and actions in everyday life. It requires the failure of functioning that impairs opportunity for human flourishing. Some disabilities do not reduce the incapacity of the person being able to flourish. There has been a widespread of an ugly attitude towards people who have the disability trait.

We owe them a promise; a more positive better life then we endure. Some justify their claims because of commitments to relationship while others justify their claims that everyone deserves recognition and respect. Those who oppose the use of embryos or pre-implantation due to the affects to the future generations believe that “some decisions that will probably make the world worse in a few generations (such as those that speed up climate change) will also mean that different people are alive than from those who would have been alive had we acted differently.”(Glover p. 45).

Either opinion can justify that our children cannot approach us with failing to give them what we owed them. Old and new parents would want healthy lives for their children. They should consider the potential positive and negative effects about disabilities, “ for a child without disability is selfish, putting the desire to avoid difficulty and complication before the child’s need
