President Obama To Overturn Embryonic Stem Cell Research

Should the Federal Government be involved? Is this a good thing or bad thing? Do you have a disability? Does that affect your view? How did you come to your decision if you are in favor or against?

Those in favor of using embryonic stem cells say it will help those with disabilities. Those against say it's playing God.

"Embryonic stem cells are master cells that can morph into any cell of the body. Scientists hope to harness them so they can create replacement tissues to treat a variety of diseases — such as new insulin-producing cells for diabetics, cells that could help those with Parkinson's disease or maybe even Alzheimer's, or new nerve connections to restore movement after spinal injury."
