Provide a utilitarian argument for embryonic stem cell research
All investment in science and technology requires a consideration of risks and benefits. Those who argue for the use of human embryos for stem cell research generally do it on the basis of utilitarian reasoning. They argue that the benefits from stem cell research are of such great magnitude that the required destruction of human embryos in the process, especially ones that are to be discarded anyway, while not desirable, is permissible.
