Embryonic ethics
Paralized for 20 years a Malaysian woman was the first ever recorded case of a spinally injured patient walking again following her treatment from stem cells taken from umbilical cord blood. Treatment similar to that the recently deceased Christopher Reeves was campaigning to have legalised in the US. The treatment she received was however lower down the moral compass that the type of embryonic manipulation used to create the clone 'Dolly' the sheep. Put simply it would seems that there are two schools of thought; that only waste stem cells are ethically acceptable as a means of treatment. The other that culturing stem cells for use en masse will be beneficial to humanity and also acceptable. Unfortunately not all all types of stem cell manipulation fit into these two categories and it's the grey areas that most of us will have issue with making our moral choice.
Adult stem cells: the least controversial; when cells remain undeveloped they can be coaxed to become other tissue. Can be found in the blood, or brain tissue, or elsewhere but are generally quite rare.
Discarded embryos: human embryos as a result of in-vitro fertilisation have been taken at the 5 day stage and used to develop into as many as one of around 220 different tissues, compared to the limit scope of adult stem cells.
Therapeutic cloning: replacing the genetic material from a donor egg with say, the nucleus from a skin cell, allows the egg to grow similar to an embryo in which stem cells can develop.
Cloning to destroy: a limitless supply of stem cells are potentially available from manifacturing human embryos.
Designer babies: genetic engineering can improve characteristics by increasing height or removing defective genes which cause disease.
Human cloning: the last frontier as it were, perhaps already broken as claimed by Raelian leader Brigette Boisselier. An embryo would be taken and implanted into an egg, then coaxed to divide into a normal embryo. A perfect copy. Dolly was created this way, but there is evidence to suggest that she aged quicker than is expected.
The House of Lords have ruled that support for therapeutic research will not be granted, and farther a field, the Virginia fertility clinic, where the first US test tube baby was conceived, have caused an uproar by creating embryos solely for the puropse of creating stem cells. Whether it offends the moral palette or not the fact remains that governments not supporting stem cell reseach will push the top scientists out of that particular practice, and smaller privately funded projects will go ahead out of the public eye with their research targetted at making a profit.
