Response to Eric Larinois' Ethics and Medicine Blog

Eric wrote his blog about embryonic stem cells, and why or why not we should utilize them.  Eric did a nice job presenting both sides of the issue, and he showed why people support and despise stem cell research.  One of the positives to stem cell research is that the cells can create a perfectly good organ or body part for someone in need.  One of the negatives is that you basically have to kill a fertilized embryo.  This is a very compelling argument.  I agree with Eric on this issue. One of the arguments posted in his blog was "that to kill one potential human being to save another cannot be justified." This argument stood out to me, and is the main reason why I would oppose embryonic stem cell research.
