My aim in this work is to demonstrate how
stem cell research and therapy may morally harm women. I
argue that the harm is located in the potential exploitation
of women and the products of their reproductive labour, i.e.
human embryos and fetal tissue, through the commodification
of women's bodily tissues and reproductive capacities. I
propose that the best way to disclose the specific harms to
women in the stem cell controversy is to look at the
relationship between the stem cell debate and the abortion
debate. I argue that there is one tempting way to maintain
the parallels which does not foster the proper moral
consideration of women in either the abortion debate or the
stem cell debate. However, I maintain that if we understand
the abortion debate from a feminist perspective, we will be
able to see the appropriate relationship between the
abortion and stem cell debates.
