... Abstract Studies over the past decade have shown that stem cell research has clearly opened up a breakthrough in possibilities for treating people with a myriad of serious and chronic diseases. Even though the benefits to such research seem boundless, the disadvantages of obtaining these stem cells weigh heavily on critics' minds. Specifically, embryonic stem cell research has sparked a debate of intense ethical concerns. These debates demand a clarification of the status of the human embryo. Do these undeveloped fetuses deserve the same rights as a living human being? Scientists are now working to expand past these debates by continuing to search for other methods of harvesting human embryonic stem cells without the potential of affecting a "human life." Also, research has recently uncovered the potential for other stem cells that have similar benefits but are not obtained using human embryos.
