The picture above is one argument against stem cell research. It is saying that the embryo died, yet still didn't find a cure for the person needing stem cell research results. However, the more ethical argument is that an embryo is a person and ESCR (Embryonic stem cell research) is killing people. That or at least killing the potential for brilliant life. Someone who is dying may die, but is it worth ending the life or potential life of a successful healthy person?
The picture above is one argument for the counter. An embryo isn't a person. If an embryo can save lives or even improve human lives, why be against it? Some can argue that a stem cell doesn't really have potential for life until it becomes a mature cell. That brings up the question of when does it become non-ethical? ESCR could cure many things like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and even cancer and end up saving millions of lives.
Overall, is it ethical to risk killing millions of potential human beings to potentially save millions of people already alive?
