Nothing should be made illegal on the grounds that it 'may' or 'may not' do anything. you need concrete evidence. and finding concrete evidence for something having 'holy integrity' is impossible, as your talking about a personal belief.
so no, it should not be made illegal on those grounds. maybe on other grounds...

No it shouldn't, because stem cells can be extracted from other things other than human embyro's.
On Sunday, researchers offered new evidence that stem cells, very much like those derived from embryos, can be obtained from ordinary amniotic fluid, the liquid that bathes the fetus during pregnancy.
Although such cells had been found before, a report in the journal Nature Biotechnology suggests they can be isolated from the fluid more easily than previously thought and coaxed into developing into muscle, bone, liver, brain and other major cell types in the search for new treatments for diabetes, paralysis and many other maladies.

ok, without going off the deep end here. I will be concise. Simply if the fetus is being thrown away anyway, why not use it?
Second not all stem cells come from a fetus. We are able to get the from the amnion as well as create them artificially in the lab.
Please don't criticize what you don't fully understand.

Stem cell research never endangers the fetus. fetus tissue can't be used for stem cells.
I think you are confusing the issue with embryonic stem cell research which uses embryos fertilized in a lab to produce stem cell research.
There is no branch of stem cell research that is related to abortion.

there si nothing holy about a fetus.
and stem cells come from embryos not fetuses. they also come from cord blood and hopefully amnioctic fluid- havn't found out yet
how could anyone want to let someone one suffer for life or even die when we could cure it?
do you know how many embryos are thrown away at ferternity clinics?
my god pro-choice, anti-choice, undecided how can you tell someone they need to die because those cells could one day become another person? whay have more people if they some will only get sick and die, due to no one giving out the cure?

I suppose that mainly depends on whether you consider a fetus to be "alive" personally I don't define an embryo or fetus as alive until birth. But, like I said its simply my personal belief. I also do not believe it should be legal as long as the cells are obtained in a safe and legal manner that is fully consented.

Resent break through in placental fluid stem cells has made the fetal point mute. Stem cell research and the connected fields are the next logical line of medical advancement.

This has nothing to do with a fetus, its about an embryo. It should NOT be illegal, because its not even a developed life.

No, it should not be illegal simply because of religion (so called "holy integrity"). Religion is an ideology, and the banning of anything on purely ideological grounds is wrong.

No. The entire world isn't christian. We don't all think like you. There are other valid opinions other than your own. Life will be easier the sooner you learn and practice this.
