For:

1-It could save lives by finding cures to terminal diseases.

2-It could increase quality of life for those with chronic illness.

3-There are plenty of resources – i.e. embryos that are just frozen, and will never be used. Plus it’s easy to make more.

Against:

1-It is morally and ethically wrong to terminate one innocent life even to save another.

2-It is morally and ethically wrong to perform scientific experiments on humans that will harm or destroy them. An example of this is the Nazis and Joseph Mengella.

3-Embryonic stem cells haven’t yet produced any cures. Research on adult stem cells from bone marrow has already proven itself to be more productive. So it is better to spend our money, time and resources on the avenue with more potential AND as a bonus, adult stem cells can be harvested without harming anyone.

Heya. Ok generally in my opinion embryonic stem cells being used for research is completley ok with me. It would help clear many things which we do not know now. But there are ethical issues…

If you only want 3 points for and against, here is the website to go to:
