We may hear all the time about stem cell research, but do we really know what it is? Stem cells are a class of cells that are able to change into specialized cell types. Commonly, stem cells come from two main sources Embryos and Adult tissue which are adult stem cells. Both types are generally characterized by potential to change into different cell types like skin, muscle, bone, and others.

There is a New Stem Cell Research Bill that some people say could promote human cloning, destroying embryos. But is this true? Well, President Barack Obama issued an executive order this year to force taxpayers to fund embryonic stem cell research that some are saying destroys human life. Diana DeGette, a Colorado Democrat, will soon introduce the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2009 and push to make it permanent.

            Some say DeGette's measures will go further and she will promote human cloning and the destruction of human embryos. DeGette has been a long-time supporter of human cloning and has repeatedly introduced legislation to allow human cloning for research purposes. But there are many who are forming strikes against this Bill, there’s still more news to come on this topic, but for now, you be the judge. Is it wrong?
