recognizes a foetus as a human as Psalm 139 says:

 

13 For you created my inmost being; you
knit me together in my mother’s womb.

14 I praise you because I am fearfully
and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful,

I know that full well. 15 My frame was
not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven
together in the depths of the earth, 16 your eyes saw my unformed body. All the
days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

"At stake is a fundamental principle commonly held by people of almost every religions, agnostics and atheists alike. Human life is sacred and is not to be experimented on, except voluntarily. abandon that principle and embryos will be brought into existence, not as now to create new life via IVF, but merely to fulfill the demand extended by research in a moral vacuum"

From its earliest days, stem cell research has been important to the people of Wisconsin

Until recently, scientists primarily worked with two kinds of stem cells
from animals and humans: embryonic
stem cells and non-embryonic "somatic"
or "adult" stem cells. In
2006, researchers made another breakthrough by identifying conditions that
would allow some specialized adult cells to be "reprogrammed"
genetically to assume a stem cell-like state. This new type of stem cell,
called induced
pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).

cells have the remarkable potential to develop
into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth. Stem cells are distinguished from other cell
types by two important characteristics. First, they are unspecialized cells
capable of renewing themselves through cell division,
sometimes after long periods of inactivity. Second, under certain physiologic
or experimental conditions, they can be induced to become tissue- or
organ-specific cells with special functions.

Was the embryo human? Whether or not it was human, was it worthy of respect? Practical reason dictates that something cannot be, and not be at the same time.

When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential either to remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized function, such as a muscle cell, a red blood cell, or a brain cell.
