Stem Cell Research

Imagine this, we find ourselves sick beyond repair and on our deathbeds thinking, “Wow, there was so much I could’ve done in this life but here I am at the end of it” But, out of this vast expanse of thinking where you’d end up in the afterlife, a doctor shows up and says, “Voila! I have just the thing for you” You see your eyes brighten up with hope with the chance that you may get to see your grandchildren for one last time, your husband or wife just for one second, until the doctor says “Stem Cell Research” and all the images of aborting zygotes pop up in your head and you wonder, if is really worth it?

Well, lets just look at what stem cell research is shall we? Well, it was discovered in the year 1988 on the month of November as scientists discovered the isolation of human embryonic cells. This breakthrough was very promising as it would be able to treat a vast array of diseases. These cells that are isolated are from seven-day-old embryos, which can be used to regenerate many organs, as they are capable of being substituted with them.

However, this research was banned due to the fact that this research downplays on the value of human life. Taking the life of something that hasn’t even yet stepped on this universe does it. This research then entails killing of innocent seven-week-old embryos that have not done any evil in this world, has not been angry, judgmental, cruel, selfish and all those other things just to be able to help a life of another who has lived life more.

Now, lets go back to our scenario… Now thinking that you’re sacrificing the life of a poor innocent embryo, would you have still accepted that? Well, I can assume that you aren’t thinking about the ramifications of this thing you’re about to decide on but what the hell, its your life anyway and its not like you did anything wrong.

So now you’re with your children and wife happy and brand-new and now you look back on those poor fetuses shamelessly disposed in biomaterial waste and you think to yourself about what horrid thing was done in exchange for your life. Well, that wouldn’t always be the case as the world of today is more liberal. The debate of people about stem cell research is that they use embryos that are “Unwanted” which means that mothers who donated the are those are inborn or aborted. Well, if that’s the case then what seems to be the problem? Well, imagine if you had died and your body was unwillingly donated to science. Wouldn’t you feel bad? This is actually the arguments arising from many of people against this and many that are for it, but for this case, I’d like to remain neutral and I would then like to state the positive and the negatives.

Many debates have stated that stem cell research
