Embryonic stem cells are the only way to cure many diseases.  For many children and adults around the country and around the globe, stem cells are the only way to help them cure their ailment. Adult Stem cell rejection, but, as you see in this link, adult stem cells are very prone to rejection from the patients.  This is because the cells already have some of the genetic material printed on them, the body recognizes this and may identify it as a threat.  Embryonic stem cells, on the other hand, have zero chance of rejection because there is no solid DNA in the cell.

Much of the con sides argument is that scientists are creating life in order to destroy it.  This makes no sense, according to this link The stages of person-hood, a baby's heart is not beating until Day 22, this is well before the stem cells are cultivated, and no brain waves are picked up until Week 6!  On top of that, the stem cells are not even in a woman and have no chance to ever become a child.

All of these argument are valid, facts, and point out that embryonic stem cells are the best option to treat any kind of disease, and they are completely ethical, this is the future of medicine.
