Why is the use of embryonic stem cells controversial?

Stem cell therapies are not new. Doctors have been performing bone marrow stem cell transplants for decades. But when scientists learned how to remove stem cells from human embryos in 1998, both excitement and controversy ensued.

The excitement was due to the huge potential these cells have in curing human disease. The controversy centered on the moral implications of destroying human embryos. Political leaders began to debate over how to regulate and fund research involving human embryonic stem (hES) cells.

Newer breakthroughs may bring this debate to an end. In 2006 scientists learned how to stimulate a patient's own cells to behave like embryonic stem cells. These cells are reducing the need for human embryos in research and opening up exciting new possibilities for stem cell therapies.

Is a dominant trait always the most common trait in a human population? (Plz explain why or why not :D)
Dimas [21]
No, what determines a dominant gene is how many copies of that gene exists  within the parent. This doesn't mean it will be the most common because of recessive genes. It doesn't matter how many copies a dominant gene has, a recessive gene can still appear in the offspring.
