Are there limits to the ways in which embryos may be treated?

Bonnie Steinbock who is a professor of philosophy at Albany and specialist in bioethics, she seems to understand well in embryonic stem cell research in pro and cons. on her esssay "Respect for Human Embryo", she was debating embryos in moral valuve and we have to carefully evaluated for sientific stem cell research technology for only for reasonably benefit for the human life in necessity.

There are people who has heavey weight in moral values in embryos as much as " deserves special respect" and "serious moral consideratiopn as a developing form of human life(p:668). the controversy as Jhon Robertson describes "If the embryo has no rights or interest , how can it be owed special respect? on other hand, if embryo is owed special respect, is it not then a holder of rights, including the right not to be the subject of research? What does 'special respect' mean(p:668&669)." It is hard to make a line how much moral value in embryos even though it can be pre implatation inform of human life.

Steinbock argues that embryo do not have interests or welfare of their own and it is impossible to show them serious moral consideration. There are many left over tens of thousand of embryos in infertility clinic's freezer in the United States that can not be useing for the Invitro fertilization(IVF) for the infertility women due to infertility clinic has to use freshly saved embryos for the fertility purpose.

We have to answer the questions that is it moral ethically right or wrong that these left over embryos keep in freezer forever or distroy them or sientists can use them as their reseach project for the cure for the serious diseases as a parkinsons diseas, spinal cord injuries, severely burned patients, bone marrow transplant or any other serioues diseases. so far stemcell research technology knows some of knowldges that blastcytes(few cells differentiated from embryo in befoer 5 days)can be injected to ill site of human body with minimal rejection or none rejection from human body to regerate new fresh cells.

I will be add little more later soon.

Equal Opportunity in Health Care Can = Individuals' Successes or Failures

Daniels argues that equal opportunity in health care is relative to how one views "justice" in health care and the question of justice in health care poses other questions like - should health care be viewed as a commodity like owning a TV or automobile, or should it be categorized separately and viewed as "special"?

For me, the author's most interesting argument was the one most developed, the normal opportunity range as a consideration for health care differences. Daniels asks us to take into account people's life plans and how their health might contribute to their success or lack. This is ultimately (according to Daniels) is how health care should be judged, if it is fair or equal really depends on whether or not it allows individuals the opportunity to reach their life plans without being hampered by illness.
