I feel that the controversy over treating male infertility with stem cells arises from the knowledge of where these stem cells can come from. If you are against abortion, you will be against the harvesting of stem cells from aborted fetuses.
As some doctors would say, a few lives to save, nay create, future generations. If this treatment works, there will be future generations born. However, you have the anti-abortionists who will shout and state that it is just "survival of the fittest" (Charles Darwin).
I am not for abortion, but I will not sit here and judge those who have abortions. It is the woman's body, not mine. If there is some good which comes out of it, then so be it.
I ask you, the reader, what is a few lives now to many lives later? If the treatment works, will that not mean future generations being born?
