Theory

Embryonic Stem Cell Research is such a loaded topic. What began as a simple discovery in science, a researcher who found a new miracle cell that had infinite potential, turned Americans into murderers and ultra conservatives. The idea of using embryonic stem cells seems like such a simple topic on the outside. Such a wonderful way to cure so many horrible disease, but in reality these cells have caused as much ciaos in the media and public as the idea of alternative/natural medicine. From the ethical choice to stop the potential for human life in an embryo to the moral choice to help the thousands in need of a cure, this issue is one that will not die without a fight. I believe this also because such a hot button issue because it forces people to choose between their past and the future, between a life to begin and one well lived. Everyone has an opinion whether they advocate it or not and some of us are forced to choose when put in the situation. However, the most important part is to be informed. Ignorance is not bliss because by not knowing you may be one of the thousands who die waiting of a cure or you may have been the embryo saved. Either way you look at it, this is a public issue which has everyone from the logic scientist to the religious patriot speaking out.
