Abstract

Makes an argument for embryonic stem cell research, with comparisons to abortion. Note that unborn fetuses can resemble human beings, and their life is at stake for reasons not always life threatening to the mother. Claim that if you accept the theory that life begins at conception, and all human life has a unique right to life, then the life of the fetus is more important; Note that embryos are comprised of a few dozen cells with nothing humanlike about them, and multitudes of human lives could be saved from the success of stem cell research; Claim that opponents of embryonic stem cell research have no logical base, and are allowing politics to cloud their judgment.
