On many occasions, Jesus healed those who were suffering from various illnesses. In our attempt to imitate Jesus and restore people to health, we need to show great respect for every human life. Stem cell research has the potential to restore people to health, but some forms of stem cell research also destroy the lives of others. Stem cells from adults have restored people to health without destroying other lives. In contrast, embryonic stem cell research involves the destruction of one human life, whether conceived through in vitro fertilization or cloning, in an attempt to restore another's life.
