Stem Cell Research Debate
Stem cell research has perhaps been the most controversial talks of birth after abortion. Stem cell research has much potential, but also has its issues. The issues particularly affect morals and religious beliefs around the world. Stem cell research has the potential to cure or fix many diseases and problems relating to our body. At the same time some cells are killed and the religious believe that the soul exists even as a stem cell at that size. There are two most common stem cell types. Embryonic stem cells are capable of becoming any cell type. This is because embryonic stem cells are pluripotent. Adult stem cells are, the more limited cell types. Adult stem cells can be grown with ease, but cannot form all of the necessary

Totipotent cells can divide into differentiated cells. Multipotent cells can easily replace dead cells. I support stem cell research to a certain percent. Stem cell research is a great way to cure diseases and help with other medical issues in science. Stem cell research will help increase the survival rate of many. Some view stem cell research as evil, a sin, or not moral because they believe that a stem cell at that size contains a soul or has feelings. I myself am a skeptic of God, the bible, and any other religious ideas. The definition of a skeptic in the belief of God is called an “agnostic.” It is hard for me to pick a side when it comes to stem cell research. I respect every other person’s opinion on stem cell research just as I would expect them to respect my opinions. If I were to take a religious approach on the subject, I would have to say that there is no soul in a stem cell and the fact that if the soul does truly exist, then it would not be until later development when it gains a soul such as a baby beginning to develop in an egg. I am in the middle when it comes to stem cell research because I support it and at the same time I don’t support it. If I had to choose a side that I would lean towards more, I would likely have to choose to support stem cell research because I do not believe there is any hardcore evidence to support the fact that there is a soul in a collection of cells that small or even a soul at all. Therefore I would likely support stem
