Its not a heated issue at all.
Stem cell research shows lots of promise in a field that seems to be stagnating. ITs an actual paradigm shift versus just a refinement.
The subjects they get the stem cells from are already dead.
Whats there to be emotional about? I could see people getting upset if this was like the movie Soylent Green where they were collecting and killing the poor to provide food for others.
In this case, let me say it again, the subjects are already dead.
ETA: I don't believe the people have control over the aborted fetus anyway do they? I mean you can't take it home with you or anything right?
So instead of burning it, trashing it or whatever, it can be used to potentially help people. A win-win situation.

That's where my faith comes in. Lets exhaust every other resource in trying to find cures or treatments for diseases, that don't involve abortion. I WILL NEVER support stem cell research when used from aborted babies.
This is a heated debate from both sides emotionally. On one side, there are those that feel abortion is murder. On the other, those that have watched their loved ones suffer from disease. (I also fall into this category, but the first wins out for me.)
