Stem cell research basically entails this:
- Stem cells are basically undifferentiated cells that can transform into pretty much any other kind of cell (brain, nerve, muscle, etc.).
- Embryo's have an abundance of stem cells that can be used for research.
- There are hundreds of thousands of frozen embryo's left over from failed in vitro attempts that, unless someone does something with them, will die soon.
- The scientists who want to research stem cells benefits to mankind want to take these embryos, and tear out the stem cells, effectively destroying the embryo.
- The Bush Administration is currently preventing American scientists from using these embryos to cultivate new stem cell supply lines, drastically limiting the research they can do.
