what ethical dilemmas does stem-cell research and cloning pose?

Question

If you were a leader in healthcare how would you respond to this issue

Answer 1

1st for those who believe life begins at conception. The idea of destorying embros just for science is not good.
Those on the other side see no problem with it.

However, lets look at the facts as of yet there is been 0 cures from fetal stem cells and 73 from adult stem cells.

Now with cloning if we clone a whole human being who is it and who own it?
The one with the orgnial DNA or does the clone become its own person.
Clones also have problems because they die earlier and sometimes with horrible dieases like what took out Dolly.

With stem cells we have lots of promising work and there is whole host of sources that we don't have to destory embros. So why not use them and take that part out of the debate?

Answer 2

I don't see any ethical dilemma in using some cells for a useful purpose when they are just going to be discarded anyway.
Cloning humans I don't agree with. There are enough people here already; no reason to make more, or more of the same.

Answer 3

over 25000 eggs are thrown away every year.........they are not buried..............they are available and being wasted instead of being used to try and save lives..............
