Let's put it this way...embryonic stem-cells come from left over fertilized eggs. These eggs are sitting in freezers. These eggs will, eventually, just be thrown away after they are no longer wanted.
Anyway, here's the real question. If you were in a burning building and only had time to take one of the following, which would you rescue?
A) The 3 month old child sitting next to you?
B) The "freezer" with 500 fertilized eggs in it?
If the eggs are human, than 500 human lives would be saved. Right? However, the right choice is to rescue the 3 month old infant.
That being said, why can't we use those fertilized eggs to save a three month old child suffering from (you choose the disease) instead of letting them rot in a "freezer?"
