The 2012 Nobel prize winner for medicine is decidely pro-life.  Japanese scientist Shinya yamanaka discovered a way to produce stem cells that act like embryonic cells without the destruction of human embryos. Yamanaka's journey to this discovery began in the late 1990's, when looking at a human embryo through a microscope. He told the New York Times "when i saw the embyro, i suddenly realized there was such a small difference between it and my own daughters. We cannot keep destroying embryos for our research."
