Stem cell research vs. Religion

From this website, I learned that religion has a major part in stem cell research. Roman Catholicism believes that when soul enters the body, sperm and eggs reunites. They also believe that it is against gods will to do experiments on human. Pope John Paul said that making a human embryos are not morally expectable. Lisa Sowle Cahill, a professor at Boston College has her own ways to describe the issue between stem cell research and religion. She thinks that there is a philosophically reason why the whole embryo idea is a person’s strict religious beliefs.

Things I would like to know after reading this article:

What is the point of the whole philosophically reasons ?
Is there any other ways to do stem cell transplantation with out hurting other people’s religion ?
