Ethical judgments limit the methods available in the production of knowledge in both the arts and natural sciences. Discuss.

Ethics has always been a concern for most logically functioning people. One issue we can see this in is the use of stem cells. There are two sides with this issue, those who believe that stem cell research is indeed ethical and those who believe that they are not ethical due to their belief about stem cells. Stem cell research and usage is no doubt beneficial to society, it may help regrow many organs. Those who are against the use however believe that it is unethical to "grow" an embryo then killing it to use it's stem cells, however those who are for the use of stem cells say that the embryo which is grown for stem cell usage does not believe that the embryo is considered life because it has no potential for growth into a human. This limits the ability for medical advancements to create better treatments for people who are ill, as well as the potential growth of knowledge in the area of study.
