The news that scientists are now claiming that within a number of years (as yet unknown but perhaps about 10 years) it may be possible to grow a functioning heart using stem cell techniques.  Surely this is enough to stop the silly debate as to whether or not stem cell research is ethical or not.  

The breakthroughs we have had in medical technology over the past decades have been astounding.  Back in the 1960s who would have thought that a successful heart transplant (never mind the double and triple transplants that we hear about) would be possible.  Now here we are in the early part of the 21^st century with the scientific know-how that can one day put a heart into someone who needs it, without the need of someone else’s death.  

I don’t know much about the ethics of stem cell research, but what I do know is that we have a lot to gain as a race by the skill of the scientists who are able to use these cells to repair and recreate parts of the human body.  There are those who say that we shouldn’t interfere with what God has created – well be that as it may, but God supplied some people with the intelligence to understand his design so well that they are able discover ways of fixing it when it breaks down, and personally, I don’t think that sustaining life is anything that God would complain about.
