This article argues that despite the ease at which stem cells are made and regenerated, they are not worth the money in the long run. Stem cells are patient specific meaning that "there might be one or two donors that are a good match for stem cells." Also, the article argues that by allowing stem cells in america, it would be considered a rogue nation because stem cell registries abroad would cut off access for american patients. The stem cell registry already has nine million donors, but thats not the problem. The problem is finding funding for genetic research, which is limited. The ability to save life is a great cause for stem cells, but the reality is the money is better spent elsewhere. This is extremely important in today's day and age because stem cells are a budding technology and are the topic of many heated debates.
