I fail to see the controversy even with embryonic stem cell research. They only use embryos that are going to be discarded anyways. You have an embryo, you can either

1) Throw it away
2) Use it for research

I choose number 2. It’s not like you’re destroying a potential life, like W says. That’s already been done. What they are doing is kind of like using a heart from someone who has been already declared brain dead to save the life of someone who has a bad heart.

And no, there are incentives to provide embryos. It’s not like the donor gets paid or anything. There are already laws about that. For example, you cannot get paid, or compensated in any way, if you donate a kidney.
