Radio Program N 2

After listening to the radio program, my thoughts were not so clear. While listening to all the information about the issue, my mind changed constantly on which was my definite posture, I was not sure if I was against or in favor of implanting stem cells in humans in order to help people with different kind of illnesses.
On one hand, I think this new discoverment is a huge advance for science, and its contribution to people that are enable to talk, could be very important in the future. If this process of repairing old and useless cells into new and normal ones again happens is proved to work in humans, we are in presence of an incredible and amazing discovery.
But on the other hand, the way they get the steam cells goes against life, it kills the embryos so you can never say this is ethic. Although a person has an important illness or is not able to walk, I am not in favor of taking off life for this purpose. The life of a person comes before of the cure of an illness.
In conclusion I think it is absolutely necessary for the United States government to revise with extreme caution this current problem and then after considering all the points against or in favor of the matter, they should then take the decision to subside the laboratory or not, depending on the decision.
