Medical science has made some shocking developments in the past twenty years. For the first time, our technology is reaching the point where we have to question our moral right to “play God”. It could even turn out that medical science will revolutionize the 21st century to the same degree that computer science revolutionized the 20th century.

Of course, stem cells aren’t quite a fetus yet, and that’s where the debate is raging in this gray area between what we know, what we think we know, and what we have yet to find out.
The scientific research of stem cells is currently hogtied by the political debate. The science is way ahead of the money, with research labs having a difficult time getting funding for such a controversial field. One thing many have pointed out is that no matter what laws the United States passes, some country, somewhere, will eventually start exploring th
