Scenario 3: A Moral Dilemma

The past few weeks, Colorado has received a ton of great snow. You and a close friend decide to hit the slopes of Winter Park for a day of skiing and snowboarding. Your morning is awesome, so you decide to go in for some lunch. Another skier swerves in front of you suddenly, and in an attempt to avoid him, your friend loses control and suffers serious internal injuries.

Months later, your close friend remains in the hospital awaiting a liver transplant. She is low on the priority list, but her time is running out. The doctors have suggested using a cloned liver made from embryonic stem cells. Your friend needs the transplant to live, but is struggling with the ethics of the decision. She asks you for advice.

What do you tell her?
