    It seems that if you do strongly believe in good and evil, than this is a no or if your relegious and believe life is sacred than it would also be a no.

    While on the other hand if this is just my opinion than I would agree it has its benefits, but it also has its problems, I would say more research would need to be done before anyone could give a final answer on the subject.

    i guess its' ok since the fetuses have no sentience of their own and they'r edead i belive so no one is really getting hurt? but i can see the other side's point of view as well.

    Well on an upside, they can get a breakthrough if they were to do this and may just find a possible cure for cancer....and then they can also fix people that have parallelizations from the neck down so that they can walk, or walk for the first time ever! But they can also save someone by creating a spinal cord patch thingy so that they CAN live....

    But one downside would be that whomever soul was going to that child will never be born at all...so there is my best downside....and it may help reduce over-population too.

    If I recall correctly researchers had found a way to extract stem cells from another human source other than embryos (or was it white mice?). I can't remember where I placed that article though. The only issue was that extraction was not as fruitful. Other than that it seemed ethically friendly on both fronts.
