La investigación con células madre está creando grandes expectativas terapéuticas para los próximos años. Una de las vías para obtener esas células es la de los embriones. En este artículo se sostiene que recurrir a los embriones para obtener las células madre no solo es inmoral, sino también innecesario, porque las células madre procedentes de adultos han acreditado una potencialidad igual, y en ocasiones superior, a las que provienen de los embriones. En el artículo se denuncia la manipulación de la información sobre estas investigaciones para justificar el recurso a los embriones.
Stem cell research arises therapeutical expectation for coming years. Embryos are one of the means to obtain such cells. This article states that appealing to embryos to obtain stem cell besides unethical is useless, because stem cells from adults have proved similar or higher potential. This work hence alerts on misleading information on research to vindicate embryos as a source of stem cells.
