Embryonic stem cell research is hope. Hope to a cure, treatmeant and hope to the saving of a life. Embryonic stem cells are capable of developing into a wide range of cells that would help treat diseases and injuries such as, diabetes, parkinson's disease, spinal cord injuries, and the list goes on. Adult stem cells and more likely to form into DNA mutations(tumors and cancer) and are pre-specialized. Also adult stem cells are of low quantity and are hard to isolate, which makes things difficult because you need so many to complete a treatment. This just shows that embryonic stem cell research should be able to be done and why it should be supported.
