Paper Summary:
The paper discusses how many people believe that using stem cells for research could improve the health of millions of individuals and could cure many diseases that have plagued mankind for centuries. The paper then discusses how others believe that stem cells are human life and should be treated with the respect that all human life is accorded. The paper also explains how regular stem cells differ from the other cells in the human body. The paper asserts that what is needed is a healthy debate with both sides sitting down and openly discussing their beliefs.From the Paper:
"There are a number of experts who believe that the potential benefits of the technology far outweighs the concern over whether stem cells are to be considered human life. The ethical issue according to some is not that the cells are human life, but how many human lives can possibly be saved if stem cells are used in research. Oz states, "the ethics of destroying embryos to make stem cells is often framed as "an immovable object meets an irresistible force"--respect for human life colliding with the desire to relieve human suffering" (Oz 90)."Sample of Sources Used:
