Embryonic stem cell research in the Uk

There is about 5 405 million people living in scotland right now about 90 000 of them have dementia 127 000 have Parkinsons and 228 000 have diabetes the list sadly goes on this is something that researching on embryonic stem cell research can help prevent embryonic stem cell research in the Uk is legal however there are some specific laws and they are only allowed to be used for increasing our knowledge into things such as Infertility miscarriages and serious diseases Embryonic stem cell research does not only help with medical breakthroughs though it also helps prevent animal testing as the drugs medicines and products that we previously had to test on animals will now be able to be tested on the embryo despite all of the positive aspects Embryonic stem cell research is still illegal in countries such as Germany Italy Portugal and Austria this to me seems idiotic as the positives outweigh the negatives here is why they should make embryonic stem cell research legal as soon as possible An embryo is a fertilised egg that is researched on as unlike adult stem cells embryonic stem cells can morph into any specialised cell in the body people who are against embryonic stem cell research say that embryonic stem cell research is killing a human because an embryo has a potential to become a person but this is not the case as the embryos that are used are only 5 6 days old meaning they are basically just a clump of cells not only this but there are many embryos that are leftover in Invitro clinics and not using them to help cure diseases is basically a crime as the leftover embryos will die anyway
