Hmmmm...
Dec 11 2007, 10:01 PM EST
I was verbally conversing with my AP Bio teacher who, when confronted with the idea that stem-cell research might just happen to be morally wrong, said "But all they can do now is throw the frozen cells away."
What do you say to that?

I'm curious.

Well Lady ... I think it's not morally wrong if it is not coming from an aborted baby. Yes they do take it from aborted babies but if they took the cells from adults who donated their bodies to science would it not be more logical then to use those instead of the dead babies. I mean you could save peoples lives and cause people to walk again from being paralyzed! 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

I mean, like, the frozen stem cells of babies that they would kill to do research on.
Don't they like, create the embryo in a test tube or something and then destroy it?
I know they kill the embryos.
My teacher is for the embryonic stem cell research that would kill even more, and uses the excuse that scientists need to do something with the already frozen ones, so "why not?"
I had no idea what to say to him on that.
Anyone have a good idea?
