On one hand you have fetuses being "murdered"
and
On the other hand the research can proove to be very useful for creating new organs ect that will help cure dieseases!
What do you think? Is using fetuses for stem cell research wrong?

Stem cell research is a fantastic form of research. However, although not widely publicized is the fact that they do not need aborted fetuses to do this. Thats where the debate is. My opinion is that if they should do all the research with the stem cells obtained from somewhere other than the fetuses, then the objectors couldnt complain, although, I'm sure they'd find something wrong with it

Some of Stem Cell Research is ethical, but parts of it isn't. I don't agree with embryonic stem cell research because using dead bodies and soon-to-be dead babies is wrong. Ask yourself a question...would you like to be used for research if you're dead? Probably not. I think it's really unethical and there are other channels for better researching.
A type of stem cell researching I really support is the ones performed on animals. Briefly, a healthy gene is inserted in an animal (usually sheep, etc) and they grow organs or whatever someone needs. Then, they use those parts to put into human beings...It's practical and very ethical (in my opinion). You should read up on Gene Therapy.

Stem cells are not fetuses. A fetus resides in a womb and there is no womb in the laboratory.
Stem cell research holds alot of promise for curing many horrific diseases. The possibilities are as numerous as the number of genes in the human genome! Staggering.
Remember, if a fertilized egg is placed in the uterus of a woman it has the potential to grow up and do wonderful things. If a fertilized egg is not placed in a uterus it also has the potential to do wonderful things. Maybe one day it could save the life of someone you love...

Absolutely for it. Why not? With all that technology has to offer today, we should be using every doorway that is opened and who know's, this research may lead to ground breaking cures that we never dreamed. There isnt much to lose really if you think about it ALL. The benefits of stem cell research, far outway the disadvantages.

Abortion might want to be legal inspite of the indisputable fact that this is incorrect and evil and outright homicide to an threat free unborn baby. imagine about it that child will in no way see sunlight hours or laugh or experience a bike or savour having friends or understand the affection of a ascertain. This unborn baby will in no way understand the failings that we take with none interest in our popular lifes. Plus that child is torn to products in the course of the abortion it truly is between the techniques it truly is killed ripped limb from limb. So for this reason i imagine stem cellular study is inaccurate also. after all you've already led to the unborn toddler a lot misery and discomfort and brought this is existence from it so a minimum of go away their undesirable bodies on my own. Abortion and Stem cellular study are merely yet another one in each of mankind's vile and cruel and evil issues. I pray that God could have mercy on all of human beings that get abortions and characteristic had abortions. i'm happy that those undesirable toddlers will stay with him and heaven always. i'd not make it there myself who's conscious yet a minimum of they could. merely so that you already know no baby is an coincidence all of them come right here with a objective yet some in no way have the chance to fulfill there objective because of the cruelty of mankind. in the destiny this is going to come to bypass that we are able to ought to account for the failings we've performed and on condition that we are quite sorry and regretful for this stuff will we be forgiven. i do not ignore that there are some who will see this otherwise than me alongside with atheist and human beings of non-christian or perhaps some christian religions yet it truly is wonderful contained in the suitable of time it would want to come to bypass that what i have self assurance is inaccurate yet i do not care because i'm chuffed for now. nicely there you've my opinion.

As long as abortion is legal, I believe using embryonic stem cells for research is not wrong.
It has been hypothesized by scientists that stem cells may, at some point in the future, become the basis for treating diseases such as Parkinson's disease, diabetes, and heart disease.

All pregnant women should be forced to hand over their un-born babies immediately, and taxpayers should finance the R&D to help make Bio-Tech corporations and politicians rich; so that we can solve the aliments of rich celebrities.
Doesn't this make perfect sense?
It appears only socialists and liberals are ready to handle the demands of the "Brave New World."

IVF clinics discard thousands of fertilized eggs every month. They are the size of pencil dot and can save lives. If you know anyone who has diabetes, Parkinsons, Alzheimers, or is paralyzed, this research can help them. It is criminal to withold it from people.

No because if they use it for research their death would have meaning and would not just be thrown away in disrespect.
