Thompson of the University of Wisconsin and John D. Gearhart of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have discovered how to isolate stem cells in humans, thus creating a totally new to research cures and other remedies in the medical and scientific fields, with an enormous impact also on ethics. Shortly after the discovery of this astonishing discovery, national and state governments were forced to decide on funding for this new branch of science. After some experiments, researchers discovered in 2000 that they preferred working with embryonic stem cells over adult stem cells (HSCR). It was then that the real controversy arose, which brought opinions and objections from individuals and the Catholic Church. The Church itself believes that embryonic stem cell research is wrong and that human life should never be taken, even if it would benefit the entire human race. They do not believe in sacrificing human life and believe that at the moment of conception the embryo is a living human being and should not be killed. They believe that death should occur naturally only at the hands of God (Taylor, CC). The views of many non-Catholics are also similar to those of the Catholic Church; many people do not approve of the innocent and premature death of embryos.
