Article Assignment

Summary
As far as I understood in this article there are some contradictions. There is a stem cell researcher named Steve Stice who has discovered a new way to use cells for protection on our national security. The only problem is that the new invention needs dead human embryos that last up to four months for the machine to detect the presence of chemical agents. A stem cell researcher collects cell that don’t have a function and uses it for something useful like Steve did with his idea.
This creation effects some people ethically because even though the embryos are dead some people think it isn’t good to use them for creations like the ones they have started. Steve to prevent this issue was using nerve cells from mouse embryos but the problem was that it would only last the machine to be useful for two weeks. So that caused for the invention of using human embryos that last longer than mouse embryos.
In my opinion our president George Bush is right by saying that destroying human embryos to extract stem cells crosses a moral line. I am totally against that if the embryos were force to be killed, but as far as I know there are a lot of people that having abortions. Instead of throwing them to the trash scientist are trying to make a use of unwanted embryos, I suggest. If people wouldn’t make as much abortions than there wouldn’t be ideas to use something that is being done. So its not the scientist fault is just the people that have the heart to abort their babies they are the ones we should be against.
Well in conclusion, This is a device is only helping out soldiers and Americans. Scientist are just trying to make use of embryos that are naturally dead. It effects people who are sensitive and that know that poor embryos that deserve to be buried are just used like some kind of chemical. Yeah I understand its wrong but in my opinion dose embryos are saving other lives on war so they are being useful for a good cause. Those embryos are heroes by protecting live people. So after all they came to heart for a reason I guess. That’s my opinion on these devices.
