I believe in the greater good. If one person dies so a thousand can live it is considered heroic. We weigh one life against a multitude, and most often, the one person is sacrificed for the good of the many. There really isn't a moral question in that situation, it is simply what must be done.
In terms of like, stem cell research, we would be putting the rights of a 3 month old lump of genetic material against those of every human being with a degenerative disease. I think you have to look at the cost/benefit of any medical progress. There is a greater good in the medical field, however you must weigh that against the possible moral implications.

"In our youth, we lacked the maturity, the decency to create gods better than ourselves so that we might have something to aspire to. Instead we are left with a host of deities who were violent, narcissistic, vengeful bullies who reflected our own values. Our gods could have been anything we could imagine, and all we were capable of manifesting were gods who shared the worst of our natures."-Me
"Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation; all of which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, even if religion vanished; but religious superstition dismounts all these and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men." – Francis Bacon
