There are many that argue that discarded IVF embryos that are deemed 'clinically useless' because of imperfections could be an important source of stem cells for research. From their perspective, poor-quality embryos that cannot be used clinically are regularly discarded during the course of IVF which could be a reliable source for embryonic stem cell derivation. However, this research is met with heated opposition and there are those who argue that this practice creates an ethical dilemma. The main ethical theories used by opponents and supporters in this controversy are consequentialism (utilitarianism) and deontological ethics.

What are your thoughts? Discuss the ethical implications of embryonic stem cell research. What moral status does the human embryo have? What would a teleological perspective of embryonic stem cell research be? How about consequentialism. ?
