Which of the following statements comes closest to your own point of view about stem cell research - Statement A or Statement B?

Statement A - Stem cell research is an important step forward in finding a cure or treatment for things like Parkinson's Disease and MS. Such research should be funded by the US government because of the possibility of helping millions of people overcome such devastating diseases.

Statement B - Stem cell research will take the lives of innocent unborn children. Taking the life of an innocent person to help another is immoral. We must find another way to help people suffering from things like Parkinson's Disease and MS.
