Many people are finding that the more they know about stem cell research, the less certain they are about the right ethical and moral conclusions” (“Remarks by the President on Stem Cell Research”). Embryonic stem cell research remains the most controversial field of medicine. This hotly debated topic was a key point in the last presidential election. Embryonic stem cell research, now on the frontlines of medicine, has many potential benefits for society."
