Why do people think embryonic stem cell research is good?

Answer 1

Basic Answer? Potential.

The most significant argument has been the argument concerning where the ethical line need to be drawn as far as using something that has the potential for life, if it is left untouched. The spearpoint for their ethical battle is centered on the idea of fetal pain; When does a fetus begin to feel pain? There are some pretty gruesome photos of unborn children grimicing in pain. When the nervous system is developed enough to feel pain, it is also believed that the brain is developed enough to generate thoughts, a personality, and thusly, a person. The average time it takes to generate to this point? 20 weeks, Which is why the abortion laws are centered around a twenty week limit.

As far as Medical Research goes, Embryonic Stem Cells are proven to cause Tumors. Leaving only Induced Pluripotent and Adult Stem Cells as viable candidates for medical use.

Answer 2

Answer:

Embryonic stem cells come from embryos. An embryo is the earliest stage of development of life. Medical researchers believe that embryonic stem cell research has the potential to significantly help people who have disabilities, failing body organs or other problems.

Many believe that embryonic stem cell research is bad. They see an embryo as a baby, a life, a person, and therefore it's wrong to use the cells for research because they believe it is killing an unborn child. Now this is just an opinion of mine but i dont se hwy people think that it is KILLING them they are unborn hense they are not fully developed and therefore when people see the embryo they think they are killing it. I wuld also like to point out that all of these babies are probably coming from people, tennagers no less that dont want them and get an abortion or something to take it out of their hands. that is saying they are incapeble of raiing a healthy child and give them a good life.

However there is now new development that make it unnecessary to use a stem cells from embryos but instead stem cells can be harvested from adult bone marrow. However, some still see hope in embryonic stem cell research and want to continue their research.

Humans live in what is known as "civilized society." It is necessary to have rules and to stay "civilized." Morals are amongst those rules, morals state killing is bad except for certain situations. There are many forms of killing; euthanasia, abortion, combat, etc. In each situation, there are many view points. Some argue that if they do not want to live anymore, their doctor should be allowed to painlessly end their life. Some believe that if they have been raped, they should be allowed an abortion. Troops believe that if their life is in danger, they should be allowed to use lethal force to end the threat.

In the case of embryotic stem cell research, those who oppose it may not take into account the millions of lives that could be saved. They may not even care because if they considered what good could come from killing then not only is the line very blurred on what kind of killing is wrong and what kind is right but the morals make them feel very 'bad' and no longer civilized and this is a large part of human beings.

Answer 3

In order to harvest embryonic stem cells, scientists must create and destroy an embryo. Embryos are undeveloped human beings and given the correct environment will grow up to become a healthy baby. They argue that embryos have as much a right to life as you and I do.

Answer 4

People think that Embryotic Stem Cell Research is good because it could help people with failing organs, and disabilities.
