IMHO, the author should have stopped before the last paragraph.

The debate over the use of stem cells is being hotly contested in various parts of the world. Scientists are striving to be allowed to do research using stem cells, in order to enhance their ability to create vaccines, that will treat diseases that currently have no cure.

I have never read about using stem cells to make vaccines before.

On the other hand, many people are of the belief that using stem cells is not only immoral, but wrong, thus they oppose the use of embryoes for any sort of scientific work.

I would have thought that if something is immoral, then by definition it is wrong. Maybe something was lost in translation. What am I missing?

embryonic stem cells no, aborted fetuses, yes.
