ehtical or not? who knows

embryonic stem cell research is ethically right in the individual. how can you justify killing something that may become a human living this. yet how do you justify letting millions suffer over diseases that could have been cured. why must we as a society always try to place something in a category. as is the case with this maybe it is unethical maybe it is not. i think it depends on what side of the fence you stand on. if your the one that has a disease that could be cured from stem cell research you do not see it as unethical.

embryonic stem cell research (is it morally right)

i have been reading articles on embryonic stem cell research and trying to figure out in my head is it morally right to do this research. do the ends justify the means. this is something that could potentially cure many diseases that plague humans. but on the other hand you have this fertilized egg. it can't think, talk, or carry any human characteristics. does this make it not worthy of protection. if so animals don't carry these characteristics yet they are worthy of protection and the mentally challenged do not carry certain human characteristics. and we don't use them for research. i guess since they cannot speak for themselves then we need to speak for them.

manifest destination

today while sitting in class i was thinking about what was being said in respect to animal testing i kind of got the feeling that maybe humans view animal testing as some sort of manifest destiny. just like early Europeans viewed the land here in north America. they saw it as gods will to conquer the land and educate the natives. and nothing would stop them. i see the same similarities when it comes to animal testing and the way its viewed. instead of land being conquered, its human diseases. and it is seen as gods will. because any testing on humans would be considered inhumane because we are not lesser creatures.

human expermintation

in class it was said that the animals were breed specifically for the labs. so it wasn't as bad as if they were taken from the forest. even though animal experimentation really does nothing for human research. and to use humans for this type of work was not morally correct. but what if humans were breed so that they were solely used for human experimentation. would it be wrong even though they have no idea of that their was a world that outside that lab.
