Embryonic Stem Cells Turned Into Sperm
In an ironic twist of science, embryonic stem cells have been used to create sperm and give birth to live mice, most of which grew to adulthood. So which is it-is the product of sperm and egg a life in the womb, or is it fodder for scientific research? If embryos have to be destroyed to gather their stem cells, is it a major conceptual lacune on the part of the scientific community to see the beginning embryo as fodder and the end result as life?
The article contains this required plug about the potential of embryonic stem cells:
Stem cells have the potential to develop into any tissue type in the body and could therefore be used to develop a wide range of medical therapies.
Someday, we will all no doubt be saved through the sacrifice of our children.

Isn't that something? their argument is their best argument against them.
