Nerve article
The article is about how scientist can make chemical detectors for homeland security or during war zones to protect people. To make these detectors they use 3 of the 21 existing human embryonic stern cell lines that are grandfather. They say that they could have a working detector with in a year. Then they talk about how they can get stem cells from under developed fetuses so that it wouldn’t be as morally wrong but the bill for this was vetoed from the president.
I think that stem cell research would be very beneficial to people. This detector is a great example of how it can help us. So much is wasted because a lot of people think using parts of us ourselves is wrong but using animals is ok.
