Stem Cell Research

• Dilemma in regard to research the word embryo
• Stem cell line: family of constantly dividing cells, product of a single embryo
• Human embryonic stem cells: building blocks of life
• Human life begins with embryo, grows into fetus, then infant, then child, then adult
• Does use of human embryos as raw materials for biotechnology undermine value of all human life?
• Benefits such great magnitude that required destruction of human embryos in the process is
permissible Human Enhancement
• Is human enhancement, beyond that needed to restore health, acceptable therapy?
– Modifications to appearance
– Neurological enhancements
• Posthumanists
