Stem Cell research is currently a very controversial issue due to the way we are acquiring embryonic stem cells. My article describes the pros and cons, and arguments behind the usage of the stem cells. In order to obtain (most) embryonic stem cells, a fertilized egg must first be produced, and then destroyed. A fertilized egg should be considered a human life, and human life should not be compromised. The bad outweighs the good in this situation, in order to cure a person, another "person" must be killed, and it is not fair to trade one life for another. As for the use of stem cells from the umbilical cord, it is very expensive to store the cells in a cryogenic cell bank.
