moderateamericain Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Im hoping that someone could speak intelligently as to what the debate is about the scientific morality debate on stem cell research. What i know about it is that stem cells are a result of impregnation in the first 5 days of formation when the cells are basically a blank slate, in otherwords havent formed into any specific organism yet. What i dont understand is how if this hasnt developed into any specific organism yet why is there debate on this? please keep this to actually fact, to be perfectly honest i dont care if its against your religion. please stick to scientific factual evidence for or against it THanks a bunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gc1765 Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I'm for stem cell research, I don't see a problem with it. For me, it comes down to choice. If a couple wants to donate an embryo, that should be their choice and their choice only. The argument that it is taking life doesn't work too well when these embryos end up being discarded anyhow. Besides, a sperm and an egg have the "potential" to form life, I wonder why it's not illegal to NOT have sex? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The debate is because the religous right branded it as immoral and now it's been politicized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
