Paper Summary:

The paper explores the controversial debate over stem cell research. The paper relates that stem cell research may lead directly to the cures of many diseases, including but not limited to diabetes, heart disease, Parkinson's disease and vision or hearing loss. The paper examines how stem cell research can also have an effect on human cloning. The paper attempts to address what the ethical issues involved are and how those issues can be debated and ultimately solved by society. The writer expresses his/her personal opinion that using stem cell research to cure or fight disease gives a living purpose to those embryos that might otherwise have been discarded.

From the Paper:

"Researchers tout the belief that a manipulation of stem cells can be beneficial in curing many diseases as well as helping in creating or developing new life, which could be part of the reason why such research generates such controversy.
"Gregory Pence, in his book Who's Afraid of Human Cloning, states that "a human being created by means of nuclear somatic transfer will develop just as much into an individual as twins do.""
