The link I posted below has some interesting contrasts as to various viewpoints... Message 21559847 The conservative view: An embryo is genetically unique human life. It is immoral to use them for research. Research on embryos turns them into commodities and devalues human life. Adult stem cells are at least as promising as embryonic stem cells. Research on adult stem cells has already provided medical treatments. The use of public funds for embryonic stem cell research gives public endorsement to research with disturbing moral and ethical considerations. The liberal view: The promise of stem cell research outweighs the ethical problems involved in using embryos already created but not used for fertility treatments. Embryos created in the lab cannot develop into viable human life without technical intervention. Current restrictions on federal funding are holding back research in the field because there are few lines available and they are of lower quality than newly created lines Privately funded research will pursue profitable medical treatments; publicly funded research is important if we want to advance our basic understanding of human development.
