To extract its stem cells is to destroy directly an innocent human life and to sacrifice that life for medical research. Support for this activity places a purely instrumental value on these human individuals who are equal in dignity to any other human being.

40,000 children die every day due to hunger. If the world were really more caring, they would educate people on condom use and prevent children from dying.
Oh wait, the Pope is against contraception....
So, in the end, people reproduce like bunnies, the children can't eat, they suffer and die, and the mighty west does little to help. Meanwhile, people who are living suffer sometimes their ENTIRE LIVES to "prevent" the "deaths" of cells who are absolutely not suffering or self-aware.
We will see human clones in our lifetime, I'm sure of it!
