I am a firm believer in stem cell research. If the laws of nature work I see nothing wrong with developing new methods of fighting disease or treating any health condition that causes mental or physical problems for all forms of life.
If we can learn how to prevent or cure or treat unwanted health problems through stem cell research or any kind of research then I think it unconscionable not to try.
I do not believe that we should allow women to sell their fetuses to medical science as this would encourage women to put their health at risk, nor do I believe that anyone should be allowed to enter into research programs that might prove to be harmful without full disclosure to the risks involved.
I know that science must know reasonably well how procedures will fair with humans before they introduce these procedures into the public domain, and logic tells us that they must test the procedures on humans to arrive at reasonably accurate data to support their projected benefits to society. This necessity to test new procedures on humans is important but the tests should never be performed without the greatest safety factors in place and full disclosure to the test subjects of possible side effects or risks involved.
All new developments have useful benefits to the world but we all must remember that many of these developments can also be used in abusive ways. Our hands are for perfect purpose but they also can be used for evil deeds but this evil aspect does not justify ridding ourselves of our hands. Likewise, when some people abuse stem cell research for unethical purposes we should not rid ourselves of stem cell research and all of its potential and great benefits to society.
I am a pro stem cell research supporter.
