Reply:So here are some good pointers, cuz i have to do this tommorow as a debate. this isn't five but it helps.





1) Much stem cell research is done on the 5 day embryonic stage, not the 6 month abortion age.


2) Stem cell's can also be found in adults as well as cut umbillical cords from newborn babies.


3) If the against people are saying "What about the value of human life, or life in a much broader sense?" then use this.


i. the embryo is only 5 days old, and it isn't technically life yet. (this is very controversial, so talk about this BREIFLY."


ii.(this is my favorite point) Now, the military spent 520 billion dollars in the year 2006. Stem cell research is costing us about 25 million a year. Stem cell research saves lives, 2 billion dollar F-16's don't. By just giving up one f-16, we can pay for another 32 yrs of stem cell research. Now if we're SOOO obsessed with killing people, then why keep creating 2 billion dollar F-16's that kill "adult" people, when we can spend 25 million dollars on "killing" 5 day old embryo's and putting research that can make humans live longer, and benefit us in the long term?





use the military to your advantage, it's a great point.
