Comment on Other Persons Blog - Stem Cell Research

Question
Stem cell research has been such a heated battle the last 10 years or so and it is only becoming more heated with the technology that we are using and the capabilities that our research departments have. We have been debating this issue for ten years and have spent millions upon millions of dollars on research but yet we still have not been successful using stem cells to cure. When is to much when we are talking about this? Do the ends justify the means?

What I learned?
Reading this blog was very interesting. Personally I am not in favor of stem cell research because I think we should treat embryos as humans from the day of conception. It was interesting that 400,000 embryos are currently being stored in 400 facilities just in the US. That number shocked me. A valid point that I came across is that we are keeping Stem Cell Research contained putting restrictions on it. What if we did pu more effort into this. What good/bad could come from it?
