You highlight stem cell research; those who value potential life might oppose embryonic stem cell research if it involves destroying embryos, while proponents might argue for its potential to revolutionize medicine and reduce suffering through regenerative therapies. The principal bioethical issues associated with human stem cells involve their acquisition and use in research (Hyun, 2010). This viewpoint supports acknowledging ethical methodologies in stem cell research, especially the use of adult stem cells, which do not require the destruction of embryos. It fosters technological development that honors life and seeks to cure without damaging others. This belief harmonizes the desire to aid persons with the necessity to uphold the dignity of all human life.
