The ethical and political controversy is centered on extracting the stem cells from the embryo. The only way to obtain the cells is by destroying the embryo‚ placing the moral status of an embryo into question. This research plays with two important principles: “the duty to prevent or alleviate suffering‚ and the duty to respect the value of human life” (Hug 108). Embryonic stem cell research poses an unruly question that places one in a position where one principle is of higher

Biology 103 Stem cells are known as the foundation of our bodies‚ and without them we would be unable to repair various organs or tissues whenever they may become damaged. Stem cells are very extraordinary cells because after division and a new cell is created‚ they are able to either remain a stem cell or turn into an even more specialized cell such as a muscle cell‚ red blood cell‚ or brain cell. Until recently‚ there were only two major types of stem cells‚ known as embryonic stem cells and adult

Ethics Behind Stem Cell Research. Is Stem Cell Research ethical? Yes‚ it is. An embryo which is four or five days old‚ from which stem cells are derived‚ is not a human being yet‚ because it’s brain is nonfunctional and it’s heart is not beating. So destroying it would not be murder‚ it’s just a beginning of a long process of obtaining stem cells from it.
