Embryos being discarded - hence 'the disregard' for the sanctity of human life. But mention stem cell research, many people automatically assume embryonic stem cell research and reject the idea. But there are placental stem cells, adult stem cells.. certainly not with the differentiating potential that embryonic stem cells have but with potential.
I don't agree with embryos being made with the express purpose for stem cell research - but I think the science has great potential and that if embryos are to be discarded (through abortion (unfortunate and devastating but a reality) and if no one claims embryos left at fertility clinics), then I am not against scientists using the embryos to try and do some good.
