Stumbling on status: Abortion, stem cells, and faulty reasoning. [REVIEW]Karen Lebacqz - 2012 - Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics 33 (1):75-82.details Common arguments from the abortion debate have set the stage for the debate on stem cell research. Unfortunately, those arguments demonstrate flawed reasoning—jumping to unfounded conclusions, using value laden language rather than careful argument, and ignoring morally relevant aspects of the situation. The influence of flawed abortion arguments on the stem cell debate results in failures of moral reasoning and in lack of attention to important morally relevant differences between abortion and human embryonic stem cells. Among those differences are whose (...) Download Export citation Bookmark
The ethics of embryonic stem cell research.Howard J. Curzer - 2004 - Journal of Medicine and Philosophy 29 (5):533 – 562.details In this article I rebut conservative objections to five phases of embryonic stem cell research. I argue that researchers using existing embryonic stem cell lines are not complicit in the past destruction of embryos because beneficiaries of immoral acts are not necessary morally tainted. Second, such researchers do not encourage the destruction of additional embryos because fertility clinics presently destroy more spare embryos than researchers need. Third, actually harvesting stem cells from slated-to-be-discarded embryos is not wrong. The embryos are not (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 6 citations
Stem cells, embryos, and the environment: a context for both science and ethics.C. R. Towns - 2004 - Journal of Medical Ethics 30 (4):410-413.details Debate on the potential and uses of human stem cells tends to be conducted by two constituencies—ethicists and scientists. On many occasions there is little communication between the two, with the result that ethical debate is not informed as well as it might be by scientific insights. The aim of this paper is to highlight those scientific insights that may be of relevance for ethical debate.Environmental factors play a significant role in identifying stem cells and their various subtypes.

Going to the roots of the stem cell controversy.Søren Holm - 2002 - Bioethics 16 (6):493–507.details The purpose of this paper is to describe the scientific background to the current ethical and legislative debates about the generation and use of human stem cells, and to give an overview of the ethical issues underlying these debates. The ethical issues discussed are 1) stem cells and the status of the embryo, 2) women as the sources of ova for stem cell production, 3) the use of ova from other species, 4) slippery slopes towards reproductive cloning, 5) the public (...)
