Stem Cell research


For a couple of years now there has been a huge controversy with technology versus religion. The argument is that stem cells and the technology around it is mimicking god and trying to play the role of god and there are people who do not agree with what the technology can do. On the other hand scientists feel that it is a great scientific discovery that will change life as we know it and hopefully for the better. There should be a middle part where scientists and religion can meet and they can find a middle ground that they can work on. This is the concept of the solution, the scientist should be allowed to continue to advance in the technology if they want but there should be guidelines and restrictions like there is with other technologies and there should be a moral guideline that they must follow so that they can continue their research and everyone else can feel comfortable about it as well. These could be enforced different ways whether it be by the government or by just a simple agreement within the scientific community but this is a big argument that is getting in the way of the progress of technology and the progress of our society as well. These guidelines will be decided with the collaboration of the scientific community and with the religious community so it is not to be too bias one way or the other and so that there will be more of an agreement between one another.

  2. Stem cell research is a truly controversial topic to discuss. I do agree with you that there needs to be a sort of compromise between the religious and the scientific community. It is a little absurd that there is this kind of, for a lack of a better word, fight to help mankind. They both through up logical explanations for helping those in need. They just have a different perspective on what stage of “life” needs it more. I think that it is a little ridiculous that the two sides spend more time arguing about who is right rather than trying to come up with new and creative solutions.
