I am totally Pro stem cells research- no matter what kind, there are no ethical issues, just people not being able to see the big picture.
How many people have to die before you can see that in order to build a better future we have to sacrifice sth in the present. This is not a sacrifice for a war, it is a medical issue.

Embryonic Stem Cell Research is unethical and medically unneccessary according to current research.
- It is unethical to encourage and use the stem cells from aborted human beings for scientific human research purposes. I am totally against my tax dollars funding a practice which is against my moral and ethical values.
- It is medically unneccessary as the most promising research involves the use of adult stem cells. As recently reported "As recently as last week, researchers announced that they had successfully turned ethically created cells into the neurons that break down in Parkinson's disease. The week before, scientists produced evidence that they had treated Parkinson's in a patient with his own adult stem cells. Almost daily, researchers are celebrating new breakthroughs without compromising a single human life. Over 70 diseases and conditions have already been treated through adult stem cells, helping patients overcome everything from juvenile diabetes to heart disease. There is a common misconception that ESC research hasn't yielded these same results because it's not legal. It is. Only federal funding has been restricted. Private, commercial, and even state ESC experiments continue to no avail. That's why the ESC community is so desperate for federal funding. Many of the private ESC financiers see the method as an expensive failure. Even Dr. James Thomson, who first grew human ESC in 1998, has pulled his resources from embryos and invested in induced pluripotent (or iPS) cells, because, apart from the satisfying the moral dilemma, these cells are easier and cheaper to reproduce.
