Abstract
Since their unearthing in the mid 1990's, Stem Cells have carried with them the promise of developmental, significant scientific and medicinal research. Likewise, it has the prospect that possessed the possibility of enhancing treatments for a host of diseases. These „super cells‟ have a key clinical prospect in tissue repair, with its adherers believing that they symbolizes the future relief or cure of varieties of common disabilities; substitute of faulty cells in a patient through transplantation of hES cell‐derived equivalent which could help restore normal function. Those who seek to curtail the use of certain stem cell lines, revert to the argument that has defined many medical centric debates over the previous decades. The argument, the destruction of human life to create life, is the stalwart philosophical point that all anti-stem cell advocates attempt to make. The purpose of this discussion is to engage in an analysis of the various aspects of the ethical debate relating to the use of stem cells in medical research.
