Counter argument To Stem Cell Research

Stem Cell Research is viewed as many as  a medical breakthrough, yet it is also viewed by many others as wrong. One counter argument which is brought up by many is that stem cell research is "playing against god". They believe stem cell research "plays god" because of the embryos stem cell research needs to become successful. These embryos are believed by many who are against stem cell research, for the sole purpose of reproduction. They don't believe these embryos should be used for medical purposes, or one day even cloning. Many opposers to stem cell research believe there are many different ways to accomplish stem cell research goals. Realistically if one of the opposers family members were to unfortunately suffer from alzheimer's, or even parkinson's they would want a cure. Stem cells could be the only cure, surely people who are against stem cells would switch and become a fan immediately. Most people would do anything for a loved one even if it goes against what they believe. If stem cells could be the only cure for someone who goes against it, they will surely switch immediately, and be all for it.
