The Stem Cell Controversy Newsweek If you are a passionate right-to-life activist, you see in stem cells an incipient human life, one deserving all the rights and respect of any other person. Chief among those is the right not to be destroyed, and not to be used as a means to an end. If, though, you suffer from a currently incurable disease like Parkinson's or Alzheimer's--or love someone who does--then those cells look very different: they look like the seeds of hope, tiny miracles able to dance on the head of a pin. In those two clashing views lie the makings of the latest embryo war. Senior editor Sharon Begley, the writer of this week's cover story, will answer questions about both sides of the controversy during a Live Talk on Thursday, July 5, at 12 noon EDT.
