There are some on this forum who want to completely ban stem cell research, no matter the source of the cells.

I've never seen anyone post that. Many of us are vehemently opposed to embryonic stem cell usage.

I've been getting some people to think about the issue IRL by pointing out how limited money for research really is and 'don't you think it should be spent on treatments that WORK?'

I'm very happy to read about another one.

I have.

Here’s the big thing about embryonic stem cells. If the child was already dead (stillborn, aborted, miscarried or whatever) then what does it matter how the cells are used? If the child was specifically aborted to use the cells, that’s a different story.

The funding is low, but the payoff is so high that we need to be doing the research. I’m not a big fan of people who are so stuck in their beliefs that they want to stand in the way of human progress.
