[[Pro-life]] conservatives consider taking stem cells from human embryos tantamount to [[abortion]], as a potential human life is ended, even though stem cells are only taken from the umbilical cord blood of an born fetus.<ref>http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16969445</ref>

: Those who value human life from the point of [[conception]], oppose embryonic stem cell research because the extraction of stem cells from this type of an embryo requires its destruction. In other words, it requires that a [[human life]] be killed.<ref> [http://www.allaboutpopularissues.org/pros-and-cons-of-stem-cell-research.htm Pros And Cons Of Stem Cell Research]</ref>

Many [[liberals]], on the other hand, are wrongly quoted saying that the  embryos used for stem cell research are already condemned to death because most of them are the byproduct of [[in vitro fertilization]] procedures which generate many more embryos than are needed to implant in the woman. With no further use for these embryos, they are often destroyed. Thus, liberals do not claim that embryonic stem cell research does not result in the destruction of any additional embryos. <ref>http://humrep.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/18/4/672</ref> But Conservatives still argue that embryonic stem cell research requires the death of the fetus.
