Embryonic stem cells offer potential treatments for many incurable diseases by growing damaged or dead cells, but they also carry risks like forming tumors and being unstable. While they could eliminate waiting lists for organ transplants and cure diseases like cancer and diabetes, some believe embryos should not be used solely for research and that cells from 3-day embryos are still living things. There are ethical concerns around destroying embryos as well as safety issues with stem cell therapies.

against the use of embryonic stem No waiting lists for organ
cells…. transplantation
Damaged or dead cells A cell at 3 days is not
can be grown and a living thing as it replaced only contains 150 Embryonic stem cells cells are unstable Offers a treatment to and cause tumours many incurable diseases Drugs given to Will offer a cure for women to stimulate many diseases such as eggs are dangerous cancer and diabetes Organisms given stem Donated cells are cell therapy often identical so there are no Embryos are develop problems problems with rejection created purely for research Even at 3 days embryos are considered as living It is against certain Less lab animals things religions to stop life and money will from developing be wasted testing Diverts resources to new drugs treatments that really work
