mLine 3:
Line 3: − Since Conservatives are [[Pro-life]], they consider taking stem cells from human embryos as tantamount to [[abortion]], which they believe to be a hideous and [[evil]] practice. [[Liberals]] claim 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. The liberals 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> This [[Liberal deceit]] fails to mention that embryos can be adopted <ref>http://www.embryoadoption.org/</ref>. + − − President Bush was pressured by [[Scientist]]s into funding stem cell research<ref>http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2001/08/20010809-2.html </ref>. + +
edit so that the claims are in line with the commandments. I tried to keep the content the same, only change the manner in which it was displayed
Embryonic stem cells can differentiate into the three "germ layers": [[ectoderm]], [[endoderm]] and [[mesoderm]]. The 220 types of cells in humans are all based on these germ layers. Some scientists have shown effectively that embryonic stem cells have greater differentiation potential, and divide into greater numbers, than [[adult stem cells]] can.

In 2001 President [[George W. Bush|Bush]] allowed federal funding for research performed only on 60 strands of already existing stem cells. <ref>http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2001/08/20010809-2.html </ref>.
==Controversy==
[[Pro-life]] conservatives consider taking stem cells from human embryos tantamount to [[abortion]], as a potential human life is ended. Many [[liberals]], on the other hand, claim 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 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> Conservative argue that this reasoning fails to mention that embryos can be adopted <ref>http://www.embryoadoption.org/</ref> and thus saved from destruction.
