Abstract
Over the course of the last three decades, scientists have made many notable advances in medicine and technology. While many of these advances have been viewed as a boon for the development of society, some have brought with them precarious ethical and moral questions that have promulgated considerable public debate. For this reason, some of the advancements made in recent years have been viewed as doubled-edged sword. Such is the case with embryonic stem cell research.
With the realization that embryonic stem cell research poses such unique possibilities and ethical problems, there is a clear impetus to examine this issue and explore both the advantages and disadvantages of this technology. To this end, this investigation considers a broad overview of embryonic stem cell research, the pros and cons of using such technology and the ethical implications of research using these cells. Further, this investigation lays out a personal argument which provides a clear rationale for justifying the use of embryonic stem cell research.
