Every type of technology can be used for good or evil purposes. Nuclear physics has given nuclear energy and also nuclear bombs. You can use a knife to kill someone or cut your vegetables.
Stem cell research could open new doors in helping cure illnesses and also improve the quality (physiological) of life for humans. Stem cells don't necessarily have to be from foetuses but can also be derived from the cells of an adult (although the cells from a foetus are easier to work with). The future seems bright and like any new technology, it comes with its ethical dilemmas.
