Stem cells are basic biological building blocks.
According to a recent Associated Press article, one type of cells, called pluripotent stem cells, have the ability to create any organ or any tissue. Scientists suggest that by guiding the development of these cells, it might be possible eventually to grow new organs to replicate various body parts, including the replacement of damaged hearts, the treatment of brain disease or injury, or perhaps the cure of diabetes. There is a catch. These stem cells are derived from human embryos and fetuses taken from fertility clinics and other abortion facilities. In other words, the government will not fund actual embryo research, but once the cells are isolated from the sacrificed embryos, the government will support the cell research.
