Stem cells haven't cured any illnesses, yet. They have the potential to provide cures. Therefore there is an ethical necessity that the research continue.
There are also "immortal" cells which, it turns out, can be used instead of stem cells. Again, this provides an avenue for the research to continue.

Are you Male or Female: Female What, if any, is your religious belief? Roman Catholic 1. It is ethical to use embryonic stem cells for medical purposes. SD 2. I believe more researches into embryonic stem cells should be done over adult stem cells because they have a greater potential. Agree with research being done on adult cells over embryonic. 3. Just because there are so far no cures, it doesn’t mean we should give up on the research. A 4. The government should provide sufficient fund for the stem cell research. SD 5. I believe the stem cell procedure can improve the lives of the others. Agree, if it's not from the death of embryos. Otherwise, I believe it's a social downfall. Please answer Yes or No to the following two questions. Is the potential benefit of embryonic stem cell research worth the embryo that we are sacrificing? No, thank God it wasn't any of our embryos sacrificed. How can I say that unborn, four day old child must sacrifice his life? If researches into embryonic stem cell found a cure to a serious human disease, would you consider donating sperm/egg cells to help the sick? No, it would facilitate murder of the unborn, and I believe that if a cure was found on the unethical grounds of embryonic research, then it can be replicated with adult cells. Otherwise, a cure probably was not found, just a patch.

Anyone against stem cell research is retarded. When they get the stem cells out of a fetus, it doesn't even resemble a human. There's no heart, no lungs, no brain. They take it out when it's around a 150 cell organism, too much later than that, the cells start to develop and hence are useless. President Bush's fundamentalist rants have propogandized ya'll.

We should allow scientists to do the research that could save millions of lives for different reasons, most people who are going to have abortions are going to have them wether or not stem cells are involved, therefore stem cell research should not be frowned upon becuase it would encourage abortion as that is by no means the case, the fetus's would normally go inthe garbage if they can be used to save a life why not do it?

The natural healing of the body is increased with glyconutrients and also the production of adult stem cells.

There is never a morally acceptable reason to use humans (born or unborn) for involuntary scientific experimentation. Embryonic stem cell research is equivalent to murder.

Get people like President Bush out of power so we can study them as we should be - without interuption.

I'm all for it, someday it may be used to help one of my grandchildren or their children.
