Slippery Slope

I found a really great example of a slippery slope, and I especially like this one a lot because it has to do with stem cells and stem cell research.  Stem cell research is something I really love to study and look into, I find it so fascinating. It has a lot of potential and can do a lot of good.


Here's the fallacy example:
The anti-stem-cell slippery slope argument goes like this: If you permit scientists to destroy human embryos for the purpose of research, it's a slippery slope from there to killing human fetuses in order to harvest tissue, and from there to euthanizing disabled or terminally ill people to harvest their organs, and from there to human cloning and human-animal hybrids, and if making chimeras is okay, well then Dr. Frankenstein must also be okay, and Dr. Mengele, too, and before you know it, it's one long hapless inevitable slide from high-minded medicine to the Nazis.


I feel that this is a perfect example for a slippery slop fallacy.  I hear fallcies similar to this about this topic all of the time.
