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.

I hope the answer depends on more than just one's biases or prior entanglements.

I agree with Professor Johnson. An ethical claim is supposed to be a prescriptive clause that states that something is ethical or unethical, not a statement that is says something is ethical or unethical because of one's viewpoint.
