Well, what do you think about them? Is making them in the interests of medical science ethical or no? Personally, I think it is, seeing as while it is a life form, it is still just a clone of a cell from an already existing person, and would never become a human anyway, since it would have to be... re-inserted... for that to happen.

While I think it is unethical to kill embros I think that stem cell research is the lesser of two evils as it is better that they die to help others than die because there is no use for them...

Though I understand how it can seem unethical to a lot of people, and seem really horrible, I do think that it is an important research method.

I really don't see where people manage to create a debate about this, an embryo is just a clump of cells (I think some rather ignorent people mistake this for a fetus), technically speaking its only classed as an embryo when its split at least once but before its progressed onto further stages of development. It only (IMO) becomes a living organism between weeks 4 through 8 when the heart and brain develop.

I mean you don't mind having your blood tissue removed for lab test's, so why care about just another type of cell your body produces?
