The primary roles of adult stem cells in a living organism are to maintain and repair the tissue in which they are found." (Info 2006)

Adult stem cells are replicators in such a way that they are able to duplicate a variety of different cells. "Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body, serving as a sort of repair system...they can theoretically divide without limit to replenish other cell...each new cell has the potential to either remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized function, such as a muscle cell, a red blood cell, or a brain cell." (Info 2006).

Researchers tout the belief that a manipulation of stem cells can be beneficial in curing many diseases as well as helping in creating or developing new life, which could be part of the reason why such research generates such controversy.
I believe that if scientists can use what is going to be thrown away to cure diseases, and to also figure out what can be done about isolating the genes and causes of those diseases, then the scientists should be allowed to do so. It is my belief that we can learn to save more lives by using stem cell research than the number of lives being needlessly taken through abortions.

By using stem cell research to save lives we are more than making up for those lives that are being wasted.
