Exploring the World of Stem Cell Research
Adult stem cell research has produced 72 cures and treatments. Embryonic stem cell research and human cloning has produced “0” cures and treatments.
 

Adult stem cell research has actually been far more successful than embryonic.

We live in interesting and exciting times. Not a day goes by without reading news media accounts reporting on the incredible pace of medical technology advances. But these advances, as welcome as they may be, often lead us into difficult bioethical dilemmas. The use of human embryos for stem cell research and cloning represents a critical crossroads in the life of our culture and society. Will we protect human life in all its stages or will we come to regard it as a tool to be used, a means to some end?

The bioethical challenges facing us can be confusing and abstract to many people. This web site provides a concise overview of the scientific processes involved in cloning and stem cell research and examines their ethical implications.

Embryonic stem cell research gets most of the media's attention, but adult stem cell research has actually been far more successful in providing cures for serious illnesses -- and it does so without harming human life in the process. We invite you to explore the world of stem cell research on this web site with an open mind. What you will discover may enlighten, educate and even surprise you.
