What are embryonic stem cells?

What Do You Think Of Embryonic Stem Cells?

• I am doing a huge research project/paper for me english and biology classes. From everything I have gathered on the use of embryonic stem cells I have decided that I'm against the use of them. So far I have gotten opinions of many sorts and it seems every opinion leads to another question...for example, when does life truly begin? When will it stop? What are the limits?ect. I have gotten my family's, some friend's, and some teachers, But i would like to know the outside worlds opinions as well.Please don't judge, or make rude remarks about my opinion or others. I am not looking for a debate just simply opinions. Try to incorperate as little religion as possible.

• Answer:

  Given that we can keep preemies alive at less and less gestational age I think we have to say life begins at conception.(eventually we will see embryo transplant and artificial wombs as resources to save wanted children) For that reason I do not approve of abortion, I think it is murder, and can not agree to the use of embryonic stem cells. Luckily for us adult stem cells seem to be doing rather well in research so we may be able to be very close to "having our cake and eating it too."
