I'm going to make a guess and say the majority of people on this board are in favor of Stem Cell Research, just by reading peoples' posts.

Myself, I am a firm supporter of Stem Cell Research. The basis of my support of stem cell research is I believe that we have an obligation as human beings to further the study of Science and medicine, using the tools of technology. Especially if the results mean finding a cure for cancers, disease, etc.

The major argument against stem cell research is that it is "killing a perspective life". Which brings another question to the table. Recently a well known Ethicist stated that it would be moral to kill a handicapped child a month after birth if it meant a better life for a future child. I have to say I agree with him on this.

Any thoughts on these subjects?
