Embryonic stem cell research is one of those new discoveries that can cure people, prevent diseases or improve the health of many. Embryonic stem cell research is clogged by many beliefs, lack of information, cultural clashes and complicated laws. This type of cells represent a huge discovery in the field of regenerative medicine, but new discoveries cannot be made as there are not necessary funds or supporters of it. Embryonic stem cell research is so controversial because is perceived as a crime or abortion and is considered unethical also. Many people do not know that embryonic stem cells have only few days, so they cannot be considered life indeed, but even so, this fact is perceived as a huge murder and embryonic stem cell research is something that should not even been discovered.

Some think that embryonic stem cell research means playing with life and killing those very little souls that are developing. There are also problems with finding the necessary funds for a better research and for new studies, but how can that be possible if the country laws are huge and strong opponents? Moreover, there are religious beliefs that consider embryonic stem cell research and procedures a crime and are totally against it. On the other side, we should think which is more important: saving lives or having these opinions on and on? Let us think that our baby could suffer from a disease and his only chance to survive and have a normal life would be through such a method. What would we do?

For some people, accepting the death of someone dear is easier if they are very religious and think that this is God’s will, but not all of us have the same opinion, so embryonic stem cell research should be encouraged through many special programs and helped with funds that will generate new discoveries and possibilities for curing severe diseases and save lives. Until then, embryonic stem cell research stays a controversial topic that is discussed in many countries. Until then, let us hope that things will change and embryonic stem cell research will save lives.
