Stem Cell Research Breakthroughs

Tomorrow, South Korean scientists will publish their study in the successful cloning and extraction of human stem cells. While there have been sensational stories about human cloning in the past, the Korean research will be presented tomorrow at the AAAS, and has already passed extensive peer reviews. As reported in the NYTimes (reg. req.), one of the Korean scientists involved said:
"Of course, we acknowledge that there will be controversy. But as scientists, we think it is our obligation to do this." Stem cells can make enormous differences in cell-based therapies for many serious diseases, but also involved are familiar ethical issues of generating human embryos only in order to destroy them.

The US Government has passed laws severely limiting stem cell research. Do you think stem cell research is destroying life or saving lives? Should this research continue to be limited in the US?
