The issue is more clearly defined if we indicate that we are considering Embryonic or Adult Stem Cells. The embryonic cell in research are under objection by certain churches because the embryo is considered a life form.
The problem also that exists is that the embryonic cell tends to create tumor , because the cells involved are pluripotent, non-specific, which means that they can form ant type of body cell freely. Thus they multiply rapidly, sometimes to random tumor-like bodies.
The adult stem cells are more specific, not having the tumor creating problem, sometimes Being mutipotent. Thus the cells can form more than one type of cell, yet remain stable.
Many Churches consider this a sanctity of life issue & the problems or lack thereof, being the hand of God guiding the process to guard life.
This type of research requires that cells are taken from an embryo. Some people are opposed to stem cell research because they think it is unethical.
Hopefully he is for it. Stem cell research is very important but stupid christians are trying to stop it.
How much does stem cell research cost? $4 trillion per year.
no.

There are several ethical concerns surrounding embryonic stem cell research. Some believe that stem cells are humans with rights, not "things, "because they believe life begins at conception. Others are concerned about what the future results of stem cell research and of cloning (a related endeavor) could mean for the way we value human life--that is, whether it will become more of a commodity.
The Republican Party has a new platform that calls for expanded support for stem cell research. However, many of the old school Republicans are still vehemently opposed to stem cell research.
yes
China is, they recently opened the worlds largest stem cell research centre there, in the province jiangsu
no

Stem Cells research can be found on online research medical journals or a stem cells research teams' webpage. The MedicalNewsToday website the latest news on stem cell research.
