Stem Cells Cure Paralyzed Rats

An anonymous reader writes "According to an article on Forbes as well as other sources, 'Scientists have used [embryonic] stem cells and a soup of nerve-friendly chemicals to not just bridge a damaged spinal cord but actually regrow the circuitry needed to move a muscle, helping partially paralyzed rats walk.'"

These are all questions of ownership, not morality. Arbitration of ownership disputes are something that the government very much does have a monopoly on.

So you don't believe stealing is a matter of morality? Then why does the government regulate ownership? Because people have realized that stealing is morally wrong and unacceptable. People have a moral right to retain their property without interference.

But, for the sake of discussion, let's say it is a matter of ownership. The government regulates ownership, humans own their own lives, the unborn are human, therefore the government regulates, supports, and protects their right to life.
