STEM CELL....SCHMEMM CELL

So,.... There has been considerable debate over stem cells and stem cell research.  What are stem cells and why is their use so controversial?

Watch the following video from CNN to see one practical aspect of using stem cells.



If you still need some background info you can use the STEM CELL TUTORIAL link to gather information about stem cells.  It's a tutorial so you will have to "click " your way through it.  The information is explained in the first tab Stem Cells Defined.  But feel free to go through the entire tutorial to understand the definition, history, uses, and controversies regarding this technology.

So the question I would like you to reply to is....

IS THE USE OF STEM CELLS A GOOD THING OR A BAD THING ?  PICK A SIDE !

But doesn't this mean that you have to kill people in order to get the cells that you need? I'm sure that I don't agree with that.

I definitely don't think its good because your killing other people for those stem cells
