Stem Cell Research, a Murder or Not....


Forming and delivering a human is a miraculous phenomenon than anything else in the world. Since ancient time, our ancestors considered that delivering as time passed by, the dignity of man had fallen with infinitely developing medical science. People's greed for conquesting disease finally reached to the point of using another life form for the research to extend human life.

The research of stem cells started with scientific evidences from few years ago. If the research succeeded, the door of regaining incurable disease might have opened. Therefore many people believed that the stem cell research will bring a possibility to conquest the disease and hope to invent the method. However there was an existing fatal problem. For this research the embryos were needed, because it has the most stem cells. At first, they used the embryos which were aborted but it was a violation of law. Finally they found an another way called artificial (external) fertilization. The sperm and egg cells combined and formed, an embryo, occurred outside of the mother womb.

However, it's still on the issue as the fat is on the fire. Some people say it can grow to become a baby when we let it grow, it's also a valuable life as same as us. I agree with this opinion. Because in other words, it's a crime of killing a person. Although the research can bring a development of medical science and it can give safety to our life, it's wrong, it's still a crime.

Developing the technology and medical skills caused by the greed of men. They make a useless struggle for endless life and they want to escape from shadow of the disease. Number of scientists and doctors were trying to dissolve them, and it brought lots of positive effects to us, people. On the other hand, the dignity of man had fallen, also. People had only considered about their profit and benefit, they had broken the morals. They overlooked the importance of life. I think, if there are any temptation trying to lead us, we have to keep the minimum of morals and it's our duty to preserve the natural life cycle god has given us.

Hey da hee! I'm glad someone wrote about stem cells. This was very challenging to search for, but worth learning about it. Great essay!
