It’s hard to think that someone close to you has passed away but it’s even harder knowing our government could have helped save the life of a close friend or family member. Our country is known for leading the world toward advances in science and medicine that improve human life.Although many believe stem cell research is inefficient and invalid, stem cell research is vital to the success and development of the human race because using stem cells to conduct research can lead to beneficial results shown through its therapeutic use, its prevention of birth defects, and its possible cure for cancer.
This conflict stirs up many other larger themes and controversies such as ethics. The ethical conflict regarding the retrieval of stem cells via embryos is quite controversial. The feeling that is developed during the understanding of the stem cell retrieval processes hold most in an uncomfortable position. How am i supposed to feel about this? The spectrum is far and wide and full of acceptance and concern. The use of stem cells could possibly become miracle work although …show more content…
Very complicated processes must be used to obtain stem cells for both research and use in labs. Extracting stem cells from blastocysts within an embryo sacrifices a life and often times destroys the embryo. One life must be given up with every embryonic stem cell used in research or even treatment. (The Stem-Cell Debate 1) For us to use one single embryonic stem cell we must sacrifice one future. developing life. (although that life would only be developing a few days) During our research process we would use thousands of cells to support their hypothesis and confirm it is safe. As great as scientists preach using stem cells, they are not the amazing perfect solution in life. In fact, they have incredibly strong moral views/ positions connected to the research and use of stem cells. There is just as much holding them back as they have keeping them
