1. I believe that the embryo is living and should not be killed. The embryo if killed can never become a human just like you or I. The embryo I think is okay, but not fine and dandy, just okay, to do research on them to find things out. I do not think that killing them in the process is necessary.
2. I do not think that it should be illegal. I think that it should just be restricted to research that does not harm the embryo. I think the research for the good of science that needs to be done is okay. Killing is not okay, they should not have the right to stop a baby from being born.
3. I think that it should just be restricted to research that does not harm the embryo. I think the research for the good of science that needs to be done is okay. Think about it if you were that embryo and they had killed you you could not be reading this blog. Kind of scary, right? you would have never existed you would have never taken your first breath or even seen the light of day. I just do no think that it is right. Killing is not okay, they should not have the right to stop a baby from being born. Yo
4. Stem cells reproduce by mitosis by are unique in that they can differentiate and form 220 different types of specialized cells.

I am not biblical but I do agree with most of the facts of this site.
When a baby is developing it is first an embryo. What if you were that embryo? I mean we do not know if they can feel or sense anything, but they are still living. Some people make the argument that they do not even look like humans yet. That is just not right, they are making that judgment by what humans look like when they can see them. Even when the homo sapien is an embryo they are still the same species and they are still humans. Would you kill another human? I hope your answer was no, It is the same thing. killing any form of a human whether it be an embryo, a baby, a teen,or an adult is just not right.

1)I think that stem cells are ethical and that they are just science, not killing babies. When the embryos are produced with in vitro fretilization, scientists are not killing a baby that a woman would otherwise have had. This is a matter of science, not ethics. The stem cells produced can help cure and speed up recovery for many diseases, and although it is a little creepy to make something that is alive just to kill it, it is okay since it is for science and would not have been a person anyway.
2) I definitely think that stem cells should be legal. With more research, they can save lives and help many people to live better lives. The government should not have control over science unless it is a threat to people or the country. That is not their area of expertise so they should leave it to the experts. Most people would probably rather see an embryo that doesn't even have senses yet killed than a young man or woman of cancer or Parkinson's disease.
3) I do not think that stem cell research should be limited, because it is not a hazard to anything or anyone except the embryos, which are not mature enough to be people and are only a part of science.
4) Stem cells can help athletes who have torn tendons.

1. I think stem cell research is ethical. I think it would be great to be able to cure cancer, Alzheimer's, and many other diseases. I think that when you take the stem cell from the embryo it is not developed enough to say that you are killing a baby. I think this research could help many people. I feel that the amount of lives that could be saved through stem cell research is greater than what you would lose when you use the embryo.
2. I think stem cell research should be made legal. I think it could help save many lives. I think that the government should let them do stem cell research. I think this research is worth more than killing an embryo.
3. I don't think they should put a restriction on stem cell research.
4. Stem cells are unspecialized cells.

1. When I first looked at the question, I honestly found myself at a "fork in the road"... Although I thought that stem cell research could open up a gigantic variety of cures and treatments for a plethora of diseases, I wasn't quite sure if it was ethical to take a living embryo for this practice. After further researching the topic, I have found that my opinion would probably vary depending on the situation that I faced.
Embryotic stem cells are extremely useful and can cure diseases/disorders such as Parkinson's disease, diabetes, sickle cell anemia, cystic fibrosis, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, and many other things. These diseases can be fatal, depressing, and traumatic for people and families of people who are faced with them everyday. Embryotic stem cells can be the key to curing these ailments. However, in the process of doing so, embryos are being killed. Those embryos are all potential human beings with the ability to grow and lead a normal life just like ours. Before we jump to the conclusion that embryonic stem cells are the ultimate savior for medical conditions, we should think about a few things. First of all, how can we kill an undeveloped child, a person much like ourselves? What classifies killing the embryo as ethical? Is it because the embryo does not have any senses, feelings, or knowledge? Is it because it cannot fight for its own right, leaving it vulnerable for scientists to use its being to their own discretion? Using the living to sustain the dying does not appeal to me, however, on the other hand, if I were in a medical situation or knew someone who was in a situation where they needed the transplant to save their lives, my opinion would probably be just the opposite. In that position, I would probably try not to focus on that fact that I would be killing a live being, and, in anguish, I would probably convince myself to believe that stem cell transplants were the perfect solution to my problem.
2 and 3. Although I do not think that stem cell research should necessarily be outlawed, I think that there should be a limitation on how many embryos can be used for experimentation. The scientists should not waste any parts of the embryo, and they should try to research as much information from every embryo as they can. I also think that they should search for other alternatives to this and adult stem cells. If there is another way to find stem cells that are equally as useful as embryonic cels, it could be useful and more ethically sound to test and use. I think that in-vitro embryos from fertility clinics should be the only cells used for this practice because they would otherwise be discarded, although I do not believe in in-vitro fertilization either.
4. A stem cell must exhibit two properties: self-renewal and the ability to form itself into other specialized types of cells.

1. I think stem cell research is ethical. Its not like scientists are going around killing babies or something like that. The embryos they are using are ones they created to help other people. These embryos would not develope into human beings. I think it is completely ethical.
2. I do not think stem cell research should be made illegal. This is something scientists are doing to help people. They may be able to find cures to various diseasesthat people are currently suffering and dying from. I don't see a reason for this to become illegal.
3. I don't think there needs to be any restriction on stem cell research.
4. Scientists believe that stem cell research can lead to cures for Parkinson’s Disease, Alzheimer’s Disease, and Type 1 Diabetes. ( That might make me a little biased)

1. I do not think this is an ethical situation. Yes, the embryos can not sense things, but we were all embryos once too. Would you have wanted to be killed in the name of science before you were even able to be born? Life is a precious gift and we can not take it for granted.
2. I don't think stem cell reasearch should be illegal. It should be regulated so there is no use of embryos. Scientists should be reseaching alternative ways. They can look into adult stem cells instead.
3. There should be a restriction on not using embryos. Research should only be done using adult stem cells.
4. Embryonic stem cells are taken from a week old embryo, thus killing it.

1) Where to begin? I truly feel that the subject of embryonic stem cell reasearch is a tough subject to touch upon. The differing opinions on the matter are strong, and personally I see the truth and reason in both sides of the arguement. In a nutshell, I have mixed feelings about stem cell research and its practice on embryos. Ethically, I think it is okay. These said "embryos" are of in-vitro origin. Therefore, their purpose is to serve the cause of many. Sometimes one life needs to be taken in order to save many. If and when these cells can be used to cure cancer, and other diseases alike, many more lives could be saved. Sometimes when talking about topics such as this, a person needs to put aside their human qualities that make them feel for others. When looked at with an ice cold eye, this is science. Thats all there is to it- science.
2)Within the United States, I feel the legalization of stem cell research is acceptable and should be kept legal. In our current time and age, if we as Americans put trust and funding into our scientists, results will surface. We have the knowledge, skills, and tools to make things like a cure for cancer a reality. Now that we are under the leadership of President Barack Obama, I feel even more strongly that the legalization of this research will be allowed more than ever.
3)As to restrictions I feel there should be some, just like anything in the world. The embryos used should not be allowed to be harvested directly from a human, but should be carefully controlled and created in a lab. I also feel that it should be closely regulated by the government and its research should be available to the public. No secrecy what-so-ever.
4) Individual states have the ability and the authority to pass state wide laws banning the use or expanding the use of stem cell research. This is only exceptable if Congress has not passed a nation wide law that over rules individual states.

1. I believe that this 'undevloped embryo' is still life and definitly should not be killed. I think it is unethical to support any 'science experiment' when it puts a life in jeopardy. I understand that stem cell reserach can possibly find a cure for many diseases, however, scientists are killing a life for an attempt to saving one.
2. Although I am against stem cell research when it comes to harming embryos, however I am not against the scientific purpose. I think it should be legal, with a few restrictions. A major restriction of stem cell research would be too not inflict any harm on the unborn baby.
3. Restrictions of stem cell reasearch are important wen it comes to protecting the embryo.
4. Human stem cells can also be used to test new drugs and in medical treatments that now require organ donors however, need for organ donors currently is more than the available supply
STEM CELL RESEARCH IS NOT ETHICAL

1. I honestly think that this is harmful. Although it may help by treating these diseases, as more people learn about them, that means there will be an increased amount of dead embryos. I feel that this is wrong, because there should be another way to cure these diseases that do not involve the death of another being. I also think that it is unethical for people to say that the embryos have no senses or feelings of life, because one of the billions of embryos they are testing could grow up and become a doctor , and find out another way, that is ethical as to finding the cure for these disease.
2. Honestly, i feel that if people are willing to donate these cells for research, the more power to them. That is their loss. I dont think it should be illegal, but the scientists should be prohibited to take advantage of the bill and use as many needed. If they are making progress, then they should be able to duplicate the already present stem cells. It should not come to, as mentioned earlier killing thousands of millions of embryos.
3. The restrictions i feel that should be taken into action would be the limited use of stem cells. They should be able to conduct their study without causing controversay. Many people have opposing ideas, i am headed more towards the opposing of stem cells only because, millions of researchers all over the world are trying to find the cure. What would happen if this search failed to find a cure? Then all those embryos, dead. That is why i think that it is unethical. UNless these scientists know EXACTLY how to cure this, by using the cells, then they are more then welcome to test, BUT only under the circumstances in which they not ask for more of these cells.
4. One fact about stem cells are: They are characterized by the ability to renew themselves through mitotic cell division and differentiating into a diverse range of specialized cell types.
5. ANTI STEM CELLS!

1. I believe that the embryo is alive and that you shouldn't kill it for any reason. I think that stem cell research will benefit us in the future but I don't believe in killing young human beings in the process. I think you should be able to do research like this but I don't think you should harm the embryo in the process. Killing human embryos for science isn't ethical.
2. I think you should be able to do stuff with stem cells. Although, I think they should find new ways to get a stem cell without harming the embryo. This kind of research is excellent for science and I think it should be legal. Making stem cell research illegal again would not benefit us at all scientifically.
3. A restriction that I have is that it shouldn't hurt the embryo. Another restriction I have is that you should only use this type of testing in certain cases where it is absolutely necessary.
4. One fact that I learned is that adult stem cells are used in veterinary medicine to treat tendon and ligament injuries in horses.

I believe stem cell research is a great idea and should be continued into the future. There is a form of life that can be lost, but I do not consider it developed enough to be considered human. I do think we should try all means to develop ways to not hurt the embryo, but we should continue stem cell research. I believe with stem cell research we can develop new ways to help the community.
I deffinately believe it should stay legal. I very much approove the use of stem cell research. I also hope Obama will approove it. I believe the use of stem cell research will improve the way humans live today.
I don't think there should be any restrictions, but there should be always a concern for a loss of life.
Totipotent means capable of being developed into a complete organism or differentiating into any of its cells or tissues.

1. I think stem cell research is perfectly ethical. The people want to give away their embryos. Its not like scientists are stealing embyos. It is completely optional and it can help people.
2. I think legallization of research is great. It could eventually help people. The end result is better than the losses. If the parent can't support the embyo or has other reasons, it makes more sense to use the emrbyo for research.
3. I think they should restrict where the embryos come from. If a person is rapped or in any way unable to support the child, they shoudl accept it.
4. Stem cells can be used universally in many parts of the body.
5. Positive

1) This is another one of those topics that i feel like a hypocrite for having my opionion be one way, yet feel something else, i don't even know, so just work with me here. I think stem cell research is most certainly the right thing to be doing, and ethical in all ways but one. The whole "killing the embyro" isn't "ideal", but .. honestly, this has the potential to cure so many things, and save MILLIONS OF LIVES. This sounds as if i am a monster, i already know it, but i said to work with me here. Think, of the ratio of embyros to lives saved if they found a cure. the amount of lives saved would be, .. insane.
2) I think if should be legal, and should not be made illegal "again". The research, could possibly save millions, of course they should be able to legally continue on. Think about it. Your mom has cancer, she could possibly be cured because of this research. I say this in all of my blogs, but i think the second you make the situation about you, and a loved one of your own, your entire outlook changes. So yes, i think it should be kept legal, they are trying to save lives .. they're not doing it for fun.
3)So, the whole "killing the embyro" thing, should have some restrictions, but i can't really pin point on any that would actually, be benefial. dear god, as i am typing this i feel .. horrible, but i have this opinion, yet there are bits in pieces i disagree with, yet i agree with because of the big picture. And anyways, if a female is getting an abortion, .. its her choice, no one elses, and if she is killing that embryo .. making her choice, which is legal, than why just leave it there, why not make something great come out of it.

1. I think that embryos are a living thing. Almost everything in this planet is living. Living things deserve rights. I also believe that you can test or observe living things. I think that some stem cell research is okay.
2. Whenever someone or something is being researched, it should never be harmed. The same should go for the stem cell research. It shouldn't be completely outlawed but be granted safe. If it will contribute to the science community in order to understand these cells than it is okay.
3. Hurting, harming, or damaging the embryo should definitely be restricted. You don’t want those things.
4. There are three types of stem cells: totipotent, multipotent, and pluripotent.

1. I feel that the ethics of stem cell research should be banned, even though stem cells can be changed into any cell, really. I think this because it is unethical to kill a human embryo, even though it is in its earliest stages. In addition, I think that stem cell research has a advantage because it can cure cancer cells and transform into any cell it wants too. Finally, i think that stem cewll research should only be used if there is an alternative of using embryotic cells.
2. I think that the United States Government can legalize stem cell research, but have to have some restrictions. I think that is should be legal because it can cure any type of diseases and help to create new cells for the people who have a low level of a certain cell. In addition, i think that it should be illegal to do stem cell research because you are killing a innocent human being, even though it is not developed yet. How would you feel if you were that poor humman being that was murdered?
3. I think that the restrictions for stem cell research should be that they should find other alternatives to find stem cells and how they get them.
4. There are five types of stem cells:
a. totipotent
b. multipotent
c. pluripotent
d. oligopotent
e. unipotent

1. i think stem cell research is perfectly ethical. i dont think of it as killing because the embryo doesnt have any sense organs yet. the embryo is not expected to be a human so it is not unethical. the women are giving their 1 embeyo but it could save millions of lives.
2. i think it should defenately be legal. te potential for scientific and medical breakthroughs is infinate. there are so many diseases that could br cured with stem cell research. if it is outlawed we could be cheating ourselves out of priceless knowledge.
3. i don't think the doctors should be able to waste any part of the embryo but thats the only restriction i think they sould have.
4. Apart from being able to renew on their own, the stem cells can differentiate into specialized types of cells.

1. I think stem cell research is perfectly ethical. By using stem cells, scientists could cure diabetes, leukemia, Alzheimer’s disease, blood disorders, birth defects, and more! The benefits we gain in the end totals higher than the sacrifices of “would-be” humans. I understand the ethical dilemma of the entire situation, but I am one of the few who slightly believe that an embryo is not a human. It has potential to BECOME a human being, but in its current stage, it doesn’t resemble a human being. A human has millions of cells, and an embryo probably has a few dozen. I believe that an embryo is a human once their formed heart starts beating, which is around twenty-two days. If scientists destroy the embryo after several days in the blastocyst stage, then in my mind, it doesn’t murder this “human” because it’s not even a “human” yet. Even if I did believe an embryo was a human from the day of conception (conception being when the sperm cell fertilizes the ovum), I am willing to destroy a life to save millions of others. I don’t think many people understand the importance of stem cell research. Say your mother has a non-curable and deadly disease that could be cured with stem cell research. Wouldn’t you want scientists to work their hardest to find a cure? With scientists working to find a cure, this gives hope to you and your mother. “Many of the great achievements of the world were accomplished by tired and discouraged men who kept on working.” People argue that stem cell research will get us no where, and we’ll have no result, but I believe in the science.
2+3. With all the gains and opportunities to help people, stem cell research should be encouraged. The government should understand this; political leaders should focus on helping the people. From the first paragraph, I might have been seen as a demonic witch, but I am humane. I do comprehend that stem cell research goes against many religious ideals and morals. With that in mind, I believe that we should not waste embryos. We should use as many cells as we can receive just like the Native Americans with their buffalos. I also believe that abortion should not go to waste. The government should put a law that states all abandoned fetuses and embryos be delivered to a stem cell research center.
4. Most of the stem cells used in research were from embryos are in-vitro fertilization centers.

1. Stem cell research is horribly unethical and wrong. To kill to life to save a life is wrong!! Even if they are test tube babies they are still being lives being created just to be destroyed. This is murder. I believe the concept is good an if your using adult stem cells its okay, and I feel sympathy toward people who can be cured but are not being allowed to be but I can not get myself to believe that embryonic stem research is okay.
2.Embryonic stem cell research should not become legal. Research that does not harm anyone can be legal. Other venues need to be taken from embryonic stem cells. Embryonic stem cell research is unethical and can not become legal.
3. The only restrictions I would issue are no embryonic stem cell research and no harming anyone to receive stem cells.
4.Any stem cell, adult or embryonic, can contribute to the rise of cancer, with its ability to grow and to change into other types of cells stem cell can be dangerous as well as helpful.

1. I believe that stem cell research is completely wrong. It is killing the embryo which is still a living thing. It is great that it can heal things and save people but it is still wrong to kill a living thing in the process. I wouldn't, however, object to it if it didn't hurt the embryo.
2. I think that it should become illegal if it doesn't harm the embryo. It is almost the same as murdering something. And, if they don't outlaw it, they should definately put new restrictions. This is a matter that needs to be changed as sonn as possible.
3. I think that they should have restrictions about using all of the embryo and everything that happens should not be done in secret.
4. Blood stem cells are the most stuudied type of adult stem cells.

1. I belive stem cell research is ok. In my opinion, if the embryo has no sense, then there is no problem doing research with it. People are thinking too hard on the fact that it is an embryo, but its not a true human being. I think it would better not killing the embryo, but what has to be done, must be done for the greater good.
2. I don't belive the stem cell research should be illegal. Now that there are those various diseases in the world, it is a wide ambition to try to find cures for many of them. If that means killing an embryo for a human being so be it. Would you really mind finding a cure for cancer, or just over the fact they used a couple of embryos to find it? I think that they can do what they can with the research, and if nothing comes up, then they can illegalize it again.
3.I think some restrictions on the embryo research, should be how much embryos they can use at one time. Another is that if they by some chance can get their information by not killing the embryo in the process, then that would be good too.
4.One fact that I learned is that there are 3 stages of stem cell research. Totipotent, Multipotent, and pluripotent.

1)I have mixed feelings about stem cell research. In one sense, I feel it's fine because technically the baby is not human yet or even born on earth. It could also save many people from diseases that currently we have no cure for. On the other hand, that baby was meant to come on earth and we are depriving it's right to be born. So I do have mixed feelings about it.
2)I do not think it should be illegal. As long as there are some restrictions on the research, it should. Stem cell research seems very promising. It could potentially solve a lot of medical problems.
3)One restriction I would like to have is to only use this if it is absolutely necessary. If their are alternatives, like adult stem cells, then those should come first. Only if there are no other options, should a person be able to use an embryonic stem cell.
4)I learned that one type of stem cell would be the umbilical cord stem cell. This is the cord that supports you when your in your mother's womb. When your born, they remove the cord and leave a belly button. The blood cells within the cord have stem cells.

1.I have many mixed feelings on stem cell research. I feel that due to lack of any considerable development, an embryo is not a full human. However, recalling the organ donor blog, many people selected the little girl to live based on her potential to grow up and accomplish great things. An embryo has that same potential which only adds to this controversy. Personally, I think that stem cell research should be pursued however, government funding should not be given to any programs exploring stem cell research using embryos.
2 and 3. I feel that stem cell research in the United States should remain legal, but with restrictions. Funding should be concentrated on projects that seek alternative methods of obtaining stem cells. Hopefully, this would help replace the need for destroying embryonic stem cells. Furthermore, ending the use of embryonic stem cells would gain this research more support and interest in the scientific community.
4. I have learned that one alternative to fertilized embryonic stem cell research is through extracting stem cells produced by parthenogenesis, which can sometimes occur in human females, though they do not develop into humans.

I believe that, even though there seems to be a benefit from embryonic stem cell research, it is unethical. There is no justifying the killing of what is or would be another human being. Although the loss of several lives may eventually lead to less suffering for many others, there are alternate ways to perform stem cell research. There is the possibility of using adult stem cells to find treatments and cures. There should be focus on the adult stem cell research, finding what new information they can, then using embryos as a latter resort.
Although I disagree with embryonic stem cell research, I think that stem cell research should be legalized. Embryonic stem cell research is favored in more in research because of its higher potential. But there should be limitations on the quantity of embryos used for the research. As for federal funding for the research, there should be some funding, but it should be minimal and used towards other ways for finding ways to treat the treatments or cures.
There should be several restrictions of stem cell research. As I said before, there should be limits on the quantity of embryos used for the research. The research should also be carefully monitored by the government, both the states’ and the federal government.
Stem cell research was started in 1998 by a group led by Dr. James Thomson at the university of Wisconsin.

1. I feel that stem cell research is totally ethical. I believe this because an embryo is a group of cells, so it's just like destroying/harming other cells in your body. People do that all the time with tanning, dry skin, and other normal, daily activites. Some people might say that an embryo is a hunman being, but its just developing and doesn;t even have the proper organs either. It is a lot "better" than abortion and I don't see that illegal.
2. I feel that this is a step towards the right direction; after the years that George W. Bush was in office and vetoed the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act, I think it's time for change. With stem cells, so many new discoveries and cures are found. It definitely should not be made illegal because of how useful it is/could be. This could save many lives to come and also help the ones dying now. When it comes to the benefit/preservation of the people,I think that the government and its people should be a bit more tolerant and flexible.
3. As long as there is no malpractice, I believe that there should be no restrictions on the materials they use and how. But there should be a budget to keep from spending too much.
4. Stem cells are different from others with the fact that they are capable of dividing and renewing themselves for long periods.

1. I believe that life starts at the conception, and that the embryo should not be killed. Just think of the life that yo are preventing by killed that unborn child. I do not aggree with the eyes of the law that it is not a human being yet. That embryo has every right to live.
2. I do not think it should be illegal, so long as it doesn't harm the embryo in any way or form. I think that scientists should research ways to get stem cells without harming the embryo. Because stem cells are good because they can help people. They are very beneficial.
3. The restrictions I would put on stem cell research is that it should be legal as long as it does not harm the embryo.
4. Stem cells can now be grown and transformed into specialized cells with characteristics consistent with cells of various tissues such as muscles or nerves through cell culture.

Sorry it's late Mr. Johnson!
I fell asleep at like 5:30 yesterday, and no one in my family woke me up, so I would up sleeping all night ): Haha. Sorry again!
1. In my opinion, stem cell research is okay, to a certain point. If you can get stem cells from umbilical cords, without killing an embryo, then that’s okay. Even if it doesn’t yield the same results, it’s better than nothing, right? I think we shouldn’t kill embryos if it’s preventable. Why should we get to choose if it lives or dies? Even if it isn’t considered a human yet, it’s growing into one. We shouldn’t prevent it from having a life, in my opinion.
2. Like I previously stated, I think that stem cell research should only be allowed if it doesn’t harm an embryo. I think taking stem cells from the umbilical cord is acceptable. I don’t think we should play the role of god and choose if a potential human being should live or die. So if it doesn’t harm the embryo, than it should stay legal. However, if it kills an embryo, then I think it should become illegal again.
3. I think the restrictions should be if it harms an embryo. (I sound very repetitive, but its my opinion!) I think that killing an embryo isn’t fair! One day, it could become a human. What if that had happened to you? You would have had no choice in the matter.
4. Adult Stem Cells are undifferentiated cells found among differentiated cells in a tissue or organ. The can renew themselves and they can differentiate to yield the major specialized cell types of the tissue or organ.
!Adult Stem Cells!

1. I think that stem cell research is an excellent idea. In my opinion, the life of someone who is already established and has lived is more important than the life of an embryo. Stem cell research affects me personally, because my grandmother has a dimensia disease, that could be cured through stem cell research. Most likely, I am a bit biast for that reason. But regardless, so many lives could be saved from epidemics, that I think it's worth losing the embryos.
2. I think it should be legal. It's a very useful tool that should be utilized in any way possible. If there is a way to perform the same research without killing the embryos, than that would be an amazing alternative. The government shouldn't tell scientists what to do with research in this respect.
3. I don't think there should be any restrictions on stem cell research.
4. There are only sixty-four stem cell lines that can be studied by scientists. Forty-nine are for a specific group of white people. The other fifteen are for Asians. These are the only lines scientists can study because President Bush did not approve the study of anymore than those sixty-four lines.

1) I feel that stem cell research is ethical and it should be well funded. Stem cell research has the potential to open a up a vast amount of cures for dieases such as arthritis,dieases that dont have any other cure (that we know of). I dont think that we are killing a human when embroyos are harvested. At that stage, it is not yet human.
2. I feel that stem cell research should be legal. It should be regulated by the government and have someone who is familiar in the topic as the head of it. It can lead to cures for many dieases,stopping many people from dying. Not researching stem cells would be letting a good thing go to waste
3. The restrictions to stem cells should be very few. It should be done under the proper environments, and there should be a limit as too how many embroyos are used per month or so.
4. Scientists say stem cells can lead to cures for Parkinstons diease.

I feel like as time goes on people need to go with it. we have new technology that could help many people but in the process we must take life. as for right now we need to do as much research as we can do to improve steam cell so that a tome will come when we don't need to kill babies. so kill one save a thousand. i think we should legalize it because the benefits outweighs the cost. if we legalize it we could improve so we don't need babies to experiment on. it really needs to be closely watched by the government so that no corruption can take place. If the government doesn't thing could and will get bad. i think that they should do research on babies that haven't token there first breath and make sure they ask parents or egg owners for permission. and alert those owners of there doing. The steam research as been a issue even in politics.
