| - Stem Cell Research is a bunch of scientific jargon, which in its simplest terms is known as killin' babies. Satan is a well known stem cell researcher.
- Funding Stem Cell Research is a policy where the government legalizes and funds research into stem cells, biological cells which have the capability of producing a variety of different cells used in the body. This research can provide commercial benefits - increasing the GDP by up to 6.5% - and can extend the average Lifespan by up to 3%. Unfortunately, because some kinds of stem cell research require the creation and destruction of human embryos to harvest stem cells from, religious and/or conservative citizens often protest against any form of stem cell research.
- The use of stem cells, specific primal cells that can renew themselves through cell division and that retain the potential to become various cell types, is controversial, especially in religious communities. Because these cells have the potential to multiply and become any type of cell, they are believed to have great medical potential in treating conditions including: cancer, Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injuries, and burns. Stem cells are already used in research, but obtaining funding for continued research is challenging due to pressure from groups who are concerned that embryos might be created and destroyed for research purposes or that research on stem cells could lead to progress in the field of human cloning. Stem cells can be obtained from the embryonic blastocyst, a mass of 50-150 cells formed approximately four to five days after conception, as well as from cord-blood and from adults. Cells from each of these three sources, however, have different levels of use for researchers because of limitations on their abilities to differentiate into any type of cell. Cells from a blastocyst are the most useful to researchers because they most capable of being "influenced" to become any type of cell. Many religious groups have come out strongly against using embryonic stem cells because of their belief that life begins at conception. Mormons, however, have no doctrine defining at what point life begins, so they tend to be inconsistent or neutral in their support of funding stem cell research from embryonic sources.
- Stem cell research is an promising area of medical research which may provide scientists and the public with a better understanding of human disease and an important opportunity to develop new drugs for currently untreatable diseases. Researchers believe that stem cell research may lead to a renewable source of human replacement cells to be used for transplantation therapy. Over 100 million Americans suffer from diseases that may eventually be treated more effectively with stem cells. These include Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer. The timeline of these treatments is yet undetermined. Select pending stem cell legislation being considered by 109th Congress: 1. Cures Can Be Found Act of 2005 (Introduced in House)[H.R.3444.IH] 2. Cord Blood Stem Cell Act of 2005 (Introduced in Senate)[S.681.IS] 3. Stem Cell Research Investment Act of 2005 (Introduced in House)[H.R.1650.IH] 4.

- Stem cell research is a brilliant and cutting edge technology that has the potential to cure many diseases and other life-threatening conditions. Pro-life groups and the religious right generally oppose stem cell research that uses embryonic stem cells but if diseases currently incurable become treatable with embryonic stem cells sufferers will be desperate to get treatment.
