Stem Cells

Paper Summary:

Stem cell research has quickly made its way into the media headlines and is among one of the most controversial subjects in America today. The debate on whether or not to use stem cells for research is a scientific one, but it has also become a political question, as well.
This essay argues that the potential benefits far outweigh any of the moral concerns of the research. It shows how, for scientists, the possibilities of research are awe-inspiring and bewildering. No one denies the moral dilemma of the stem cell debate. To turn back now, researchers say, would be like turning our backs on a bright, sustaining light because we are terrified of the shadows it creates. The paper provides several arguments in favor of stem cell research, including the medical benefits.

From the Paper:

"Standing with Mary Tyler-Moore, Gina Gershon and Michael J. Fox, she spoke at a Senate subcommittee meeting, expressing the urgency of the situation and the importance of stem cell research to her and so many others who are dying every day from ALS, a degenerative disease. When you look at the living, breathing people who could truly benefit from a used fetus, it is obvious that morality can bend in the direction of those who need help."
