With new developments in stem cell research, new discussions begin. Some argue for these developments saying that these new methods could ease ethical concerns,
“Scientists said today that they created what appear to be embryonic stem cells without having to make or destroy an embryo.” (G. Kolata, New York Times)
This new method gets an “OK” from the Vatican as stated by Elio Sgreccia, head of Pontifical Academy for Life saying,
“As of now we consider this process legitimate, pending further verification” (AFP)
So what are Muslims saying on this item?

Salaam,
It comes as good news to me. I have twins who have sickle cell anemia and the potential that stem cell research offers for a possible cure for this disease looks promising.
