Argument: COMMENDING the intent with which "Stem Cells for Greater Health" was written.

NOTING that although some diseases and injuries are incurable there is not yet conclusive evidence that stem cell treatment options will yield hoped for, or even beneficial results towards these ailments.

CONCERNED that the sufferers of currently incurable ailments may endure emotional and psychological stress as a result of false hopes and expectations for a cure brought about by "Stem Cells for Greater Health".

APPLAUDING the conservation of Doctor's and Medical institute's rights to choose whether to participate in procedures involving stem cells due to personal values or principles.
but
ALARMED that similar considerations are not implemented in regards to the values of the public who are both directly and indirectly effected by and exposed to the work of the medical community.

REGRETTING the lack of discussion on the ethical issues surrounding stem cell usage and sources.

FURTHER CONCERNED over lack of guidelines on sources of and harvesting of stem cells, especially due to the increase in demand of stem cells as a result of "Stem Cells for Greater Health", an increase in demand which could lead to the occurrence of unethical and less then 'humane' harvesting of stem cells.
