宗教信仰:無( ) 傳統民間信仰( ) 佛教( ) 基督教( )


A:對於人類”胚胎幹細胞研究”的看法
同意 不同意 沒意見

1將給醫學研究及疾病治療帶來突破性發展,限制會阻礙其進步
2可能無法控制有心人用來複製人或其他用途所以現階段應限制
3胚胎有生命 應尊重生命權 拿來做研究算是殺生
4胚胎還不算是人 所以並不牽扯到生命權的問題
5因此改造人類基因違反大自然演化原則
6改良基因讓下一代更好也是人類的一大進步

B:是否因幹細胞來源的不同而影響倫理道德上對幹細胞研究之接受度

1人工流產後留下的胚胎組織
2不孕症治療後多餘不用的胚胎 原擬銷毀不如留下
3以體細胞核轉殖術製造的人類胚胎
4以捐精及捐卵者之精卵製造胚胎供研究用

Rp introduction

The issue about embryonic stem cell research is all the rage in recent years. However, it is also a complex and difficult issue, an issue that is one of the most profound of this time. The issue of research involving stem cells derived from human embryos is increasingly the subject of a national debate and dinner table discussions. The purpose of this research is trying to rely on the special characteristics of embryonic stem cells and then have further development on the medical field. This research is still on its experimental stage; however, there were already many voices raised to against this research. It is result from where and how the scientists got those embryos to continue their research. Moreover, those who against this research believed that whatever the means these scientists use to got the embryos, it is definitely have something to do with the human right. The issue is debated within the church, with people of different faiths, even many of the same faith coming to different conclusions. The issue is confronted every day in laboratories as scientists ponder the ethical ramifications of their work. It is agonized over by parents and many couples as they try to have children, or to save children already born. Many people are finding that the more they know about stem cell research, the less certain they are about the right ethical and moral conclusions. When biotechnology confront bioethics, it is hard to decide which side we should choose: believe in the research will bring us many beneficial effects or just stop the research here to defense the so-called human right of these embryos. However, can we make sure that these embryos are already human-beings or they just on their early stage of being a real human? Therefore, there are discussions about the embryonic stem cell research from four perspectives: religious, legal, ethical, and scientific.
