I voted for because It could help millions of people. I do not know alot about stem cells, but I do believe it could help find cures for HIV and other deadly diseases. My personal opinion is that if you must take 1 to help 50, go for it. They should go forth with the stem cell research, to help change lives and make the world (what's left of it) a better place.

I'm for stem cell research. Stem cells could save so, so many lives in the future. It's a technology that will benefit us more than not.

There was talk about using stem cells from embryos, how that's like destroying a life. But the thing is, stem cells don't only come from embryos, but from, well, I think the embilical cord, if I remember correctly from science class two years ago. So, there is no destruction of life.

The other thing was the ethics of stem cell research. Are we tampering with nature? Well, yeah. But haven't we always done so? All the pollution we're doing, mining, spilling oil into the oceans. But I think that, as long as we tamper with nature safely - making sure that chemicals and such are not released into the environment, not cloning people or animals, because that's just tampering gone too far - it should be done.

As long as it helps more than destroys, it's worth the effort, money, and time put into it.
