What do you think is the reason why some people are against stem cell research?

The primary reason and most important reason is that some people are scientifically illiterate. They don't understand the science behind the research and they do not have even the basic education to begin to understand it. They don't even try to understand it and they let others try to explain it to them but those people often have some sort of agenda.
Science itself is not good or bad, it is what is done with it. If all of society doesn't what to use this knowledge, a least we all have made the decision not just a handful.
There are two methods of stem cell research.
1. Embryonic stem cell and
2. Adult stem cell.
There is not somuch opposition of manipulating the stem cells from adult cells. On the other hand, Embryonic stem cell research involves the value of life. Thus the main issue for embryonic stem cell research is whether potential embryonic life should be treated with honor and human dignity.
Which itself is only a religious viewpoint and not science fact.

∙ 9y agoStems cells are controversial because they are often associated with the use of embryonic stem cells - that is stem cells from what could have been a human life form.
There are more modern approaches in the field of stem cell research that work toward regressing adult stem cells to a pluripotent form, bypassing the stigma of using embryonic tissue.

Why was Hitler so influential during the great depression?
Because he killed millions of people for no reason I think that since they have stem cell research, somewhere in the govt database or labs are the DNA of Hitler, I think that they should clone Hitler and give him another chance......I have nothing against him and he did what he felt was right similar like when people kill people for no reason. I personally admire Hitler and we need to bring him back an give him a chance. He is no lessthan a criminal similar to the guys and gals in jail and sentenced for 1-2 life terms
