I think it could be a great benefit to society, but we need to be very deliberate and watchful how we legislate it.

Wow, two questions in a row, that focus on my husband's multiple sclerosis.
My husband is in a wheelchair, and will be, for the rest of his life. Other persons with ms are even worse off than he is. He would do ANYTHING possible to find a means to prevent someone else from living with this, or many other diseases that researchers believe can be controlled or cured with stem cell treatment.
My opinion is that MANY of those against it, are acting from emotion and not facts. Aborted babies ARE NOT (and I scream this) the only source for stem cells. And.. even it it were... you can bet that preventing the research would not prevent one single abortion from happening.
I suspect that many of the life saving treatments we have today, would have been considered evil, 200 yrs ago. Because of lack of knowledge and prejudice. Some of those same persons back then were burning "witches" at the stake.
No lives are being lost, by allowing the research to go on. Many lives are probably being lost. Frankly, I think the evil is in stopping it, without any legitimate reason.

For all those christians who say it's "against the bible", think about this: God made Adam and Lillith. God scrapped Lillith, who was made from clay. God took Adam's rib, and made Eve. How is that NOT cloning????
