Stem Cell Research: A Lesson for Our Time

From CatholicCulture, Dr. Jeffrey Mirus has posted an insightful commentary on the stem cell issue:

The most hotly debated bioethical issue for the past five years has been the acquisition of stem cells. These cells can transform into a wide variety of human cell types, and so can be used to cure disease. For this reason, a large sector of the medical research community has insisted on the need to harvest stem cells from human embryos. Others have insisted that growing embryos for this purpose is both immoral and inhuman.
