What I mean in essence is that they are acting like they have forgotten there was an abortion that took place. Maybe if they remember that they are dealing with a human fetus, they would speak up against it.

You insist have not yet provided one single argument as to why stemcell research is wrong. I don't know what you are looking for, I'm not going to say in general all stem cell research is wrong. I've from my first post have made a distinction between adult and embryonic stem cell research. I'm not going to make a general statement about ethics of stem research, when stem research encompasses both ethical and unethical means of studying stems cells. You should remember that I've mention adult stem cell research and said that they have positive results. A good example is bone marrow transplant that uses adult stem cells. The ethical issue is where the stem cells originally come from. There is a distinction to which one is unethical and which one isn't. Embryonic and aborted fetuses stem cell research is unethical. The research they are doing starts with and comes from the fact that a (man-made) abortion of a human fetus took place and they are using a human fetus that was aborted that should not have been aborted. They are experimenting on a deceased body that should not have died that way. The purpose of a human emrbyo/fetus is to develope into an human being. There is no complicated or sophisticated arguement to offer why a preborn human being has a right to life. Just like you said a journey starts with a first step, the embryo/fetus is the first steps of life for human beings. What kind of arguement are you looking for to prove a preborn human being has the right to life?
