In Nick Lund's, Ethics and Medicine, post he disscusses the contreversial issue of stem cell research. Stem cell research has been a hot topic for the past several years. Nick Lund believes that stem cell research is a good idea and should advance in the future and I'd have to say that I agree with him. Many people argue that the creation, usage, and killing of human embryos to create stem cells is ethically wrong. I would have to disagree with this because with stem cell research we will be able to help and save many people suffering from cancer and other diseases and scientists are trying to rid them of this disease.
After reading the article, Stem Cell Research-pros and cons, I would have to say that the pros had a more compelling arguement for why stem cell research should be allow. In the article the pros of stem cell research is the hope to someday have the ability to cure diseases that wreck the lives of million of people such as Alzheizmers, Parkinson's disease, blood disorders, and others. Nick Lund believed this argument was more compelling than the con arguement and I would have to agree with this. In the end, I would have to agree with Nick Lund in saying that stem cell reseach should be allowed in order for advances in our medical world.
