- Summary:
- It increasingly appears that the qualities researchers value in embryonic cells may also exist in other stem cells that are easier to procure, more stable to grow, safer to use in therapies, and free of the ethical violations of embryo destruction. There is a gathering consensus among experts, thanks to technical advances, that today's heated controversies over research that harms embryos could fade in the future. The dramatic advances in stem cell research since 2001 are evidence that the President's balanced policy is working. Scientists have shown they have the ingenuity and skill to pursue the potential benefits of embryonic stem cell research without endangering nascent human life in the process. In supporting these alternative approaches while maintaining longstanding bioethical guardrails which protect life and dignity, federal science-research funding can stay true to the ideals of a humane society.
