The article I read was about how president Obama approved 13 new researchers to do stem cell research. Stem cell research is when cells from a fertilized embryo is put next to living cells to form that cell. The theory is that the cells from the embryo are like "blank cells" and will configure themselves to match the surrounding cells. The government will not fund it and nothing the government is funding is not allowed in the lab they are testing it in. They even had to repaint the walls to "ensure no contamination from federal funding".
Many people are against stem cell research but i am not. I don't see what's wrong with it personally. They are taking an UNBORN, not living, baby and using it to cure people with serious diseases. Since the embryo can not feel this I find nothing wrong with it.
