Stem cells week two!!!

This week we started watching a move called "The Island", where "mad" scientists begin to create humans only for the use of harvesting their organs. This brings up the ethical questions related to stem cell research. Do humans have the right to play god? Some scientists argue that humans are already playing god by destroying habitat with pollution and construction.


Just like in the book Frankenstein, humans are warned time after time not to try to play god.--- Emily Hansen  However, there are people that see stem cell research in different light:

How far will stem cell research go? No one really knows, but research will continue. I learned to day in class that Obama Care has lightened some of the limits on stem cell research and given more funding to its cause. The UK has already developed many organs from pig organs so why can't the US?
