The moral-principle objection to human embryonic stem cell research
Metaphilosophy 38 (2-3):190–206 (2007)
Abstract
Opponents of human embryonic stem cell (hESC) research claim that such research is incompatible with the moral principle that it is always wrong intentionally to end a human life. In this essay, I discuss how that principle might be revised so that it is subject to as few difficulties as possible. I then argue that even the most defensible version of the principle is compatible with the moral permissibility of hESC research.My notes
