In order to obtain stem cells from an embryo, that embryo has to die. Now, this may happen unavoidably, in the case of a miscarriage, but it can also happen deliberately, in the case of an abortion, so the stem cell issue becomes connected to the abortion issue.

Are people more upset about some types of stem cells than others?

Yes, embryonic stem cells tend to elicit more controversy and raise ethical concerns compared to adult stem cells. This is because obtaining embryonic stem cells usually involves the destruction of human embryos, which some people view as morally objectionable. Adult stem cells, on the other hand, are obtained without harming embryos and are therefore generally accepted with fewer ethical objections.


Why do some people feel that stem cell shouldn't be used?

Certain experiments in stem cell research requires embryonic stem cells that are obtained from developing embryos. Unfortunately, this is an invasive procedure that involves inserting a needle-like probe into the mother and extracting stem cells from the embryo. The procedure carries with it a high risk of damaging the embryo thus causing developmental abnormalities in the developing fetus. This raises ethical reasons. After much debate, interest groups have begun petitioning the ban on stem cell research.

Should frozen embryos created through in vitro fertilization be used to create stem cells?

Most scientists agree that frozen embryos created through in vitro fertilization should be used to create stem cells, although many people are against it because of their religious views.


What is one concern that people have with stem cell research?

The first concern is the destruction of human embryos to extract stem cells. Pro-life activists argue that embryos are a form of life and should be allowed to live. Another argument is that stem cell research can devalue human life as it can lead to consent of reproductive cloning.
