Ethical Considerations in Embryonic Stem Cell Research
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page position paper arguing against embryonic stem cell research and in favor of using adult stem cells for the same purpose. Philosophers can argue the moral and ethical position of harvesting embryonic cells forever, “proving” either positive or negative positions at will without arriving at any solution. If patients are indeed suffering needlessly because of the lack of stem cell research, it is the research community that is responsible. Adult stem cells are readily available, behave in the same manner and carry no ethical or moral consequences at all. Rather than argue against government policy, researchers need to be turning their attention to other possibilities, thereby following the path of research development that has been in use for more than a century and thusfar has produced every advance that we now enjoy. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
