I don't like the idea of them being destroyed, but I dislike the idea of using them for stem cells even more.
Like I said, I can't explain why I am against it when I am so pro choice, but it just doesn't feel right to me.

They can use embryonic stem cells TODAY.

But no one has been cured of any disease or illness using ESC. There is no actual proof that ESC can actually cure PD, or anything else. It seems to me that scientists are bragging about how these ESC can save lives and work miracles, but we are yet to see one.
