A moral dilemma

Embryonic stem cells 
Embryonic stem cell treatment is when an early embtryo is destroyed to obtain it's cells and replacing them with diffrebciated cells lost due to injury and disease. 
Embryonic stem cells research poses a moral dilemma: 
providing the duty to prevent or reduce suffering or the duty to respect the value of human life. 

Now imagine you are a Parkinson or Alzheimer's patient and the only way to relieve the disease symptoms is to replace the lost brain cells is with embryonic stem cells. Would u kill a possible human being when it is an embryo and get your normal life back by recovering from the disease or would u not get the treatment but save the death of an embryo?
