From the cited article:

Scientists hope stem cell research will lead to cures to diseases that afflict millions of people, but social conservatives liken the research to abortion because the process of extracting stem cells from a days-old embryo results in its death.

Meanwhile stem cell research is not just about curing diseases. Diseases such as breast cancer and leukemia are now traced to stem cell activity. Stem cell reseach is also about learning why so many diseases occur.
Just another reason why religious stifling of stem cell research is akin to bleeding someone to remove evil spirits. Just another example of introverted religious types stifling those who would instead advance mankind - learn more of god's laws - act as god's prophets. Religious types would instead insist that all of god's laws are in one book - the Bible. How introverted. No wonder Christian College libraries have so few books on science and math - and so much on religion and propaganda tools.
We call them introverts - such as those who openly lie under oath and on a Bible in Dover PA. People who would stifle advancement of mankind in the name of charismatic and dangerous manipulator; one who lies and calls that lie "god's word". The truly religious would strongly advocate as much stem cell research as can be performed productively. The truly religious know to worship god is to advance mankind.
