I thought the video we watched in class on Monday was kind of hard to follow if you didn't really know what was the main concern so I found this picture that simply puts what people who are pro stem cell research are trying to say and how the process is supposed to go.
I personally believe that it is super tricky to give a solid answer as to when it is that our lives begin. Because I am pro stem cell research for the most part, I think our lives begin when we are developed from a fertilized egg and a growing embryo still inside the womb.
I know with advancing technologies and the way babies can grow that claim can be denied, but in my unprofessional opinion I say that is when we begin fully. The video shows that when women freeze eggs they are in small tubes and I know what the eggs will eventually become(duh) but it is hard for me to see this frozen tube as a developing baby until it is inside a person and developing. At the put of being frozen it is just at a stand still and could potentially not work for the person who wants to unfreeze them maybe years later.
Therefore, I stand by my idea that life starts in the womb.
Also, this picture shows what can be resolved by the use of stem cells and there are a few simple things like baldness, but if stem cell research could cure diseases like Alzheimer's then I'm all in. Stem cells have the remarkable potential to become many different cell types in the human body during early life and growth. Imagine all the people who could benefit from this!

So, when does human life start for you? and are you pro stem cell research or against it?
