Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Since a fertilized egg has the potential to be two individuals or half of one, some believe it can only be considered a ‘potential’ person, not an actual one. Those who subscribe to this belief then hold that destroying a blastocyst for embryonic stem cells is ethical.
Detailed explanation-2: -Many people disagree with using human embryonic cells for medical research because extracting them means destroying the embryo. This creates complex issues, as people have different beliefs about what constitutes the start of human life.
Detailed explanation-3: -The most common way of removing stem cells involves taking them from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst, which destroys the embryo.
