Religion/Spirituality/Belief/Non-Belief (#5)

The article i read is about how religous beliefs and ethical issues come together when countries are trying to research new medical breakthroughs. In India they are researching a stem cell project and it is very much against their religious beliefs and what their country believes in. In south Korea they are trying to make this research sound like it is okay and that it goes along with their beliefs. One scientist has said that by doing cem cell research he is recycling the life just like the belief that reincarnation does. These medical advances in these countries are things that many people believe in their own countries but many times go agains their religous and ethical beliefs. The trading and donating of organs in India remains a big contraversy in their country because this is going against what they believe even though it will help them in many ways with things that the people in this country need. The contraversy in India comes down to more than just what they want to do with medical advances but also with what they think is more important to them; medical advances or ethical and religious beliefs.
