creating embryos with the intention of destroying them, even if it is intended to help the sick, is
completely incompatible with human dignity. It would make one human being a means to the end of
health and life for another.
3. Make some personal observations. Was this research worthwhile? Did it add significantly to our
knowledge of the subject? What relationship does it have to what we are learning?
This research was worthwhile because it presents many aspects of stem cell research aside from
religious reasons and reasons surrounding human nature and instead, reflects the entire problem of a
rebellious society where ethics are constantly shifting. The instruction's subject matter is technical. It
offers a sustained and serious treatment of vital problems. I have learned that—just as the sciences
have their own languages, moral theology also needs technical terminology and patterns of argument,
congregation addresses are pressing. However, the obstacles to communication are great because the
language of natural law has limited power today to turn back the tide of technological transgression we
face. I also learned that some thinks pastorally, the church needs to find an improved rhetoric to
engage the “postmodern mind,” and in its apologetics it must experiment with varied genres of
persuasion to affect the fluid imaginations of the Digital Age. He ends the article with “Who will be
the C. S. Lewis for our day, defending human nature and celebrating the Christian vision of life for the
21st century?” This is highly related to what we are going to learn because stem cell research is a hot
seat debate topic that never resolved even until today. However, life and death issues are always at
hand with stem cell research. By altering life and death, the nature of the world is also altered, which
can become highly unethical. Unfortunately, we are often also tied with our emotions, which tells us,
for example: to save a dying relative rather than allow them to pass away by nature.
