My research paper is going to be focusing on SOME of the arguments surrounding Stem Cell research. The more I look into the matter, the more arguments I find against it, while interestingly enough, I only really find one argument for it. Thats of course is to better man kind and take away disease and suffering. Some of the arguments that Im going to pay close attention to are whether or not the egg cell in the dish is actually worthy of the same protection as a human being. Why are a large amount of people that are pro-life pro-stem cells? Is it fair to be destroying embryos when there are people out there trying to "adopt" embryos for the sake of reproduction? Is it unfair of Bush to fund the stem cell research, being avidly pro-life, or is it the smart thing to do so the research doesnt fall into the private sector and the government will be unable to regulate it at all? Is it unreasonable to think that adult stem cells will some day soon be able to do everything the more contriversial embryotic stem cells can? Should cloning technology be studied further so that researchers can grow stem cells with the right membrane markers? Should people be allowed to be compensated for their donation of eggs for the sole purpose of research?

Again, these are some of the issues that Im going to attempt to tackle. Im not really sure right now where I stand or what Im going to prove over all. We'll have to see where it leads me.
