Personally, I'm not particularly religious and I'm all for stem cell research. But faith is a tricky thing to argue with. You either believe or you don't. There's not much middle ground.

Sure there is... spirituality is the middle ground. I consider myself pretty spiritual but the furthest from religious, religion is picking one side and believing in a certain set of beliefs and practicing that. Being spiritual to me is believing in the earth, nature, SCIENCE, and people in general.
Now, where religion conflicts with this is the religious believie these embryos have their own spirit, and are considered beings. I don't think so, you develop a your spirit as you live life. There's no chance for these embryos to do such a thing, so why not make use of them to improve, and save other people's lives??
