Bioethics Question 4. Question 1: If stem cell research, which involves testing on unborn embryos of human babies, involves killing these embryos for the sake of groundbreaking research for potentially solving giant biological issues, should stem cell research be considered ethical? Approach 1: The approach you would take to this question would involve determining how ?alive? stem cells really are, and weighing it against the potential benefit that stem cell research could provide to humanity. Question 2: If animal testing, which involves predominately testing on rats and other small lab animals, could potentially kill the animal in pursuing important research, should doing so be considered ethical?
