Definately against. they have other sources for cells that will work as mentioned. I am one of the people who would probably benefit from the research, but there is no way I would want my health improved by anything I would consider morally wrong. Too much of man playing God for my taste.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
Don't get me wrong, I am a compassionate person, but I do believe that everything happens for a reason. I'm all about organ donation, but when you're making something from "nothing", it crosses the line. We are then not solving the problem, but in fact creating another one. This world is overpopulated as it is... let life run its course. Why do we seem to be in such a rush to eliminate the phrase "we're only human"?
Unfortunately, mankind will continue to pursue Stem Cells, and will eventually be accepted into the medical field, and with full-force. Poplulations will soar, the poverty level will rise, and we will eat up all our natural resources. Not that this isn't already happening, but stem cell research will accelerate it substantially. In the end, our desire to live will kill us all. How ironic...
