Stem cell research

Steve Stice is a university of Georgia stem cell researcher who uses neural cells to detect chemical agents. The cells that are being used now are mouse cells but they die off quickly they only last for 2 weeks but human cells last more that four months. The reason for this device is because it can be used in a war zone or help with homeland security. President Bush and other representatives did not agree with the research because they felt it crossed a moral line with them using aborted babies vs. naturally dead babies. So instead of them using aborted babies they would use babies that were already dead.

My reaction to this article is I agree but I also disagree I agree without them trying to save lives in the time of need for example if someone was hurt in war and was possibly about to die then I would want them to try and save their lives with whatever is needed but I disagree with them using aborted babies because they are not naturally dead they are killed by their parents but I feel that it would be alright to use naturally dead babies to save someone else’s life.
