Paper Summary:

The paper looks at the debate regarding whether human embryos possess "human rights" and thus the right to live in the fully developed human sense. The paper discusses this ethical and controversial issue and strongly contends that stem cell research must be allowed to continue unabated while trying to find ways to circumvent the ethical dilemmas that hinder it.

From the Paper:

"In spite of these controversial issues, stem cell research must be allowed to continue unabated not only to find practical application in cell and organ transplantation and regenerative medicine, but also to alleviate the emotional burdens of all those involved in a patient's suffering. Embryonic stem cell research involves growing stem cells derived directly from human embryos and is the present method employed in growing stem cell colonies. Still in development is non-embryonic stem cell research, which seeks to circumvent the heated debates regarding whether human embryos possess "human rights" and thus the right to live in the fully developed human sense (Cort, 2005)."
