There is much controversy in the news-both scientific and popular-about the use of embryonic stem ...

There is much controversy in the news-both scientific and popular-about the use of embryonic stem cells for research. These cells are grown as cell lines in culture, created by taking the inner cell mass from 5-day-old embryos. What is the center of the controversy?

▸ the fact that the embryos are mostly those unused by in vitro clinics

▸ the knowledge that these cell lines have reverted spinal cord injuries in mice

▸ the unproven usefulness of stem cells to treat human disorders

▸ the realization that these cells are pluripotent rather than totipotent

▸ the difference of opinion about whether these embryos are persons
