Interesting story, I'm glad they finally overturned the decision and listened to science and reason.

They think that when an embryo is destroyed, then it is the same as killing a living person.I don't understand why the bioethics guys always seem to have a problem with stem cell or related types of research. what in their point of view is unethical about it?
Is it that the embryos could be mis-used?

Yeah, the opposition think life begins at conception as cell division occurs and hence growth, those for stem cell research say well it's really a bunch of cells with no discernible shape or figure and the embryo is destroyed long before it resembles any form of human.
So it's effectively different interpretation of what is a human life.

I of course agree with you. As futureofscience said, it is mostly the religious folks that have a problem with it. (no matter how illogical it is)Yeah, the opposition think life begins at conception as cell division occurs and hence growth, those for stem cell research say well it's really a bunch of cells with no discernible shape or figure and the embryo is destroyed long before it resembles any form of human.
So it's effectively different interpretation of what is a human life.
I think stem cell research is too important to be put back by such interpretations, don't you think?
