I beg to differ with you,I am not living for the cure,I am living life to the hilt.Why not help many people with a myriad of mind and mobility issues?Let's get busy researching stem cells insteading of discarding them.I need to go now.I will be able to discuss this issue at any time. Keep on rollin' and let's start opening up all that stem cells have to offer. Peace,

I think both are wrong.
I don't think they should have created them in the first place for IVF, but since they exist then keep them on life support (i.e. frozen) indefinitely. They are not something that should be killed (i.e. by removing stem cells) to possibly make another persons life better. I have a moral problem with taking one life to improve another persons life.
Embryos left over from IVF are not the only source for stem cells. (2006.06.27: Research on Alternative Sources of Pluripotent Stem Cells, http://www.hhs.gov/asl/testify/t060627.html )
So I feel those sources should pursued since there would be no moral or ethical concerns. I'm all for scientific advancement that does not conf! lict wi th my morals and ethics.

Let me get this straight, if you throw the embryos in the trash they're called left over waste.
If you research them, your killing human beings.----
