According to the LTI Blog the fundamental dispute over embryonic stem cell research (ESCR) is a worldview issue:
One group thinks human beings have value simply because they are human while the other group thinks humans have value only because of some acquired (and accidental) property like self-awarness or sentience.... So, which worldview better explains human dignity? Is it the one that grounds human equality in our common human nature or the one that grounds our value in accidental traits that may come and go within the course of one’s lifespan?
