Embryonic Stem Cell Research Is NOT Necessary

755 Words2 Pages

Embryonic stem cell research occurs when stem cells from fertilized embryos are used as research for treating abnormalities and diseases among humans, by dissecting them and therefore killing the human soul in the embryo. It permanently destroys a living human embryo, sacrificing that precious life worth so much more than people realize. Nobody should be a human sacrifice. Every human life is precious, and from the second of conception, that embryo is a living human being. What is even more heartbreaking is that embryonic stem cell research isn’t necessary, yet it is still conducted. The reason why it isn’t necessary isn’t only because it is unethical, but also because conducting research on adult or cord stem cells, have the same effect as …show more content…

In every way, embryonic stem cell research is horrible and unethical and no human life should be sacrificed, for in fact, human life begins at the moment of conception. There are other options to find a cure for diseases and disabilities- like using adult stem cell research. Also, scientists have found that another way to conduct stem cell research without killing embryonic infants; which is by using immobilized cord stem cells. Doctors take the immobilized cord stem cells from the umbilical cord after the baby is born, and those stem cells can be used in the same way embryonic stem cells are used. Except when immobilized cord stem cells or adult stem cells are taken, no human life is killed in the process. And whenever there is the option to choose between sacrificing innocent human life and trying to preserve it, we must always go with the option of refraining from …show more content…

Thompson of he University of Wisconsin and John D. Gearhart of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine discovered how to seclude stem cells in humans, therefore creating a totally new way to research cures and other remedies in the medical and scientific fields, and also making a huge impact on ethics as well. Shortly after this mind-blowing discovery was made, nationwide and individual state governments were forced to decide on funding for this new branch of science. After some experimenting, in 2000 researchers found that they preferred working with embryonic stem cells to adult stem cells (HSCR). This is when true controversy rose, bringing in opinions and objections from individual people and from the Catholic Church. The Church itself believes that embryonic stem cell research is wrong, and that human life should never be taken away, even if it should be for the benefit of the entire human race. They do not believe in sacrificing human life, and they believe that at the moment of conception the embryo is a living human being, and should not be killed. They believe that death should only come naturally at the hands of God (Taylor, CC). The opinions of many non-Catholics are also similar to the Catholic Church’s opinion; many people do not approve of the innocent and premature death of embryos. But some believe that embryonic stem cell research is the way to go; they may believe this because
