A thesis statement should express one main idea. Readers need to be able to see that your paper has one main point. If your thesis expresses more than one idea, then you might confuse readers bout the subject of your paper.

Next, a strong thesis statement takes some sort of stand. Ok so remember that your thesis needs to show your conclusions about a subject. AND the thesis takes a stand. It should be possible for reasonable people to disagree on the subject you're exploring in your paper. Because a good thesis indicates your point of view on this subject, it should justify discussion of the topic.

Ok so for example...
"Companies need to exploit the marketing potential of the Internet, and web pages can provide both advertising and customer support."
So this statement is weak because a reader wouldn't be able to decide if the paper is about marketing on the Internet or web pages. So, a better way of putting it...
"Because the Internet is filled with tremendous marketing potential, companies should exploit this potential by using web pages that offer both advertising and customer support.

This is Strong thesis statement because it shows the relationship between two ideas. A GREAT many clear and engaging thesis statements contain words like because, since, so, although, unless, and however.

A strong thesis statement is also specific. It will show your reader exactly what your paper will be about. Also, by making it specific it will help restrict your paper to a manageable subject.

I would make this statement and assertion:
"The benefits of embryonic stem cell research outweigh the moral costs because of the innumerable potential benefits it can provide to the medical community."
