embryos have stem cells

embryos, just like fetuses, just like infants, just like toddlers, just like children, just like teenagers, just like adults, just like elders, are human beings

whether or not they have souls is immaterial

the fact that they are human beings means that it is immoral to sacrifice embryos for their stem cells

just like it is immoral to cut off a baby boy’s ******** to harvest the fibroblasts in it for research

the fibroblasts, and the stem cells, are first and foremost for the use of the human beings from which they came

it may be unethical to take embryos donated by mothers who have aborted their pregnancies because the mother may have partly or wholly based her decision on the idea that the embryo’s stem cells will benefit research.

continued…
what is the foundation of research ethics though? – that the research participant’s safety is upheld above any and all potential advancements in scientific knowledge.

this includes not killing the participant, and therefore it is unethical to use stem cells from embryos whose mothers have aborted/”killed” them based in whole or in part on the idea that this will benefit science.
