My girl had an exam Ethics today (she studies Biomedics) which had as main subject the use of embryos for stem cell growing.
Now we have had some discussion about this and i was wondering what u people think of this?

some background:

i'm honestly torn.

I have no problem with it.

if it's going to cure cancer and disabled people I'm all up for it.

Remember that the body is a machine. In fact, the spirit isn't always in the embryo in the womb, a spirit can chose to enter the vessel at the moment of conception or anywhere else during the 9 months, some spirits even chose to enter the vessel the second before they are born. My point is that a stem cell is not necesarrelly a human being.

I mean it it's going to benefit humanity at large, I agree with it.

if research is used for the correct purposes e.g cures for diseases etc then im all for it, but i disagree if its to create some ****ing cloned frankenstein or some other ****
