Today while looking up info on stem cell research, we came across another website with a plethora of information on the ethics of the process.

http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/stem-cells/

The outline includes:

1. The Ethics of Destroying Human Embryos for Research

• 1.1 When does a human being begin to exist?
• 1.2 The moral status of human embryos
• 1.3 The case of “doomed embryos”

2. The Ethics of Using Human Embryonic Stem Cells in Research

3. The Ethics of Creating Embryos for Stem Cell Research and Therapy

4. Stem Cell-Derived Gametes
