Basically the argument AGAINST stem cell research is the research of embryonic stem cells. In order to extract stem cells from embryos, the embryo has to be destroyed... as a result destroying the human life. This is basically your pro-lifers.
I personally don't know where I stand on this... If I had to put myself in a category, I'm pro-choice.
There are many benefits of stem cell research. Stems calls come from three sources. Adult bone marrow, umbilical chords and embryos. I guess you can have stem cell research from bone marrow and umbilical chords... leaving the embryos alone. I'm no scientist though.
Hopefully this clears it up for you. Or maybe it brings up more questions??
