I wholeheartedly support umbilical stem cell research, but also support embryonic stem cell research.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I support stem cell research, including embryonic stem cell research.
We have a lot to gain through furthering stem cell research, but medical breakthroughs should be fundamentally about saving, not destroying, human life. Therefore, I support stem cell research that does not destroy the embryo.
There are many alternatives to embryonic stem cell research, alternatives with great potential. We need to support these and oppose creating life for the sole purpose of destroying it.
Embryonic stem cell research will prolong life, improve life and give hope for life to millions of people.
I am opposed to both cloning and the destruction of human embryos and adamantly opposed to funding of embryonic stem cell research.
I urge researchers to make use of the opportunities that are available to them and to do all they can to fulfill the promise that stem cell research offers.
Now science has presented us with a hope called stem cell research, which may provide our scientists with many answers that have for so long been beyond our grasp.
You cannot be against embryonic stem cell research and be intellectually and therefore morally consistent, if you're not also against in vitro fertilization.
We can continue to make significant strides in the scientific community by exploring new stem cell research methods that do not include destroying human embryos.
I am in favor of stem-cell research. I am not in favor of creating new human embryos through cloning.
