Why Can't We Experiment On Human Embryonic Stem Cells?
Human embryonic stem cell research is incredibly controversial, and the current law says we can only study them for 14 days. Why is this? Will This New Stem Cell Treatment End The Controversy?...

Studies on human embryonic stem cells are highly controversial, and the current law says that embryos must be destroyed after 14-days. But why 14-days? What’s so significant about the two week limit, and should we even keep using it? Hi there my science buddies. Julian here for DNews. Human embryonic stem cells are one of the most legally and morally contentious areas of study. On the one hand, stem cells, both adult and embryonic, are valuable for researching a huge range of illnesses and diseases, from cancer to diabetes to Alzheimer’s. On the other hand, many people believe that this benefit to medicine comes at the cost of potential human lives. If you want a bit of background on the moral and medical controversy surrounding stem cells, you can che...
