WHat do you think about stem cell research???
First let me explain what stem cells are: Basically they are a cell that can become any cell in the body. Remeber how your body can't regrow your brain or heal it? Well with the proper research and time scientists could potentially mimic these cells into forming bone marrow, blood tissue and even new organs! We could save millions of lives, but, there is the one small problem, the embryons we get them from. Currently they would be destroyed in the process of removing stem cells, but, it's not like they would get a mother pregnant and then make her have an abortion and remove the embryon. What they do is when two people want to have kids but, can't because one of them have a condition were they can't have children. Scientists take the eggs from the mother and the sperm from the father and put the together in a lab and then place several into the mother. Usually some of them die in her womb but, 1 or more usually survive (Making twins and such) (Cont. in details...)
