Science course)? Note: The issue concerning the stem cell research had lead to a debate with many views about ethics. The research is been able to isolate cells in the embryos, which are soon to become into cells within the body. The embryonic stem and germ cells are found either by the donation of embryos and/or from pregnancies that are terminated for medical or social reasons. For the ones who believe that a life begins right after conception, the blastosyst is then an actual human life and to destroy it is clearly immoral and unacceptable. The objection to stem cell causes the destruction of an embryo or fetus. That became the destruction of a potential human. Though, conducted correctly, the stem cells are to grow into a liver, lung, heart, nerve cells but the endless possibilities. The research is for patients who are suffering from diseases who unable to wait for a transplant and also find cures for diseases.
