As a matter of fact, the embryos were already discarded. It's incorrect to refer to research as resulting in their deaths.
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, particularly those having pro-choice political views, claim that embryonic stem cells can differentiate better, and divide into greater numbers, than [[adult stem cells]] can.

Upstanding [[pro-life]] conservatives consider taking stem cells from human embryos, which are then discarded, as tantamount to [[abortion]], a hideous and [[evil]] practice. President Bush was pressured by [[Liberal]] [[Scientist]]s into funding stem cell research, resulting in the death of hundreds of human embryos[http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2001/08/20010809-2.html].
