Kelsey Martin- Cons- Block 4

I am on the Cons side of the debate which means I am against embryonic stem cell research and for adult stem cell research. My article talks about how adult stem cells are taken from the human body. Adult stem cells are being studied in people who suffer from heart attacks and diabetes. They have also become a lifesaving therapy for people with blood diseases. This article talks about how adult stem cells have restored vision to people whose eyesight has been damaged by chemicals. We have been using adult stem cells for decades where as using embryonic stem cells is still fairly new.
