Cell Life Describe Arguments Agaisnt Embryonic Stem Research

Proponents of embryonic stem cell use highlight their potential for treating diseases and advancing developmental biology, often using donated embryos; opponents argue against the destruction of embryos and the uncertain benefits.

Arguments for embryonic stem cell use include finding treatments for incurable diseases and studying development, with donated embryos often being discarded anyway; arguments against cite the destruction of potential life and uncertain benefits.

Front Describe arguments for and agaisnt the use of embryonic stem cells for research and medicine.
Back Pro-stem cell use:
  • Allow us to find treatments for incurable diseases
  • Allow us to study developmental biology more closely
  • Embryoes used were donated from those left over after fertility treatment so they were gna be discarded anyway


Anti-stem cell use:
  • Life begins at conceptions and destruction of embryos is murder 
  • Experiments do not guarantee any benefits to human life
