While I am for stem cell research, I must understand why people are opposed to it if I am to convince them to be for it.
I think some of the reasons people are against it is they think that this is hurting the "life" issue. The people who are against stem cell research are mainly all pro-life on the abortion issue. They feel that in allowing stem cell research, that this is allowing scientists to do expiriments on "life", and that this might be used to justify abortions. They are saying if you can do expiriments on human stem cells, than what is to stop us from abortions, since you (those of us for stem cell research) are saying these aren't worthy of the "life" label.
Does that make sense? Since I'm neither against stem cell research or pro-life its hard to articulate their aguement, but I want to understand it because I want to persuade them that stem cell research IS the pro-life position.
