I think science and religion are becoming too big of a conflict. Sure, stem cell research is thought of as 'inhumane' and things by certain groups, but the constant benefit of the research far outweighs moral obligations, I think. Especally if the stem cells are harvested from things such as umbilical cords which don't injure anyone.
The fear that the research will turn into a monstrosity is highly overrated, I think. I'm confident that science will eventually prosper, in this case especially. However, I'm a totally biased science nerd, I'm sure many will disagree with me on this
