Are Stem Cells A Second Chance At Life or Controversy?
A Review on the Debate
Abstract
Over the years, there has been a growing debate between scientific researchers and moral advocators over the sources and didactic implementations of stem cells. While the practicality of stem cell use in the human body seems to be endless, the dispute cycles around the morality of the issue. This paper will demonstrate three main points: the description, implementation/research, and morality associated with stem cells. The writing in this document examines the research/history of stem cells, and the alternative methods in which the cells can be extracted. This document will also speak on the moral dilemma associated with the practices of stem cells. Detailed research on the subject will be provided to assist the reader with interpretation and understanding of the information involved. Upon completion, the reader should well educated on the issues surrounding the topic of stem cells.
Are Stem Cells A Second Chance At Life or Controversy?
A Review on the Debate The discovery of human embryonic stem cells has launched a new age in the battle to cure disease. Throughout history doctors and scientists have worked endlessly to combat illness and disease. In recent years, however, there have been many breakthroughs with disease associated with the implementation of human embryonic stem cells. The use of stem cells has not only aided in survival rate but, also with the quality of life. There is however, a dark side to this innovative discovery and that is the moral aspect of where the stem cells are derived from. The moral issue being discussed is the use of stem cell extraction from the fetus of unborn infants. In the following review, the classification, implementation/research, and morality associated with stem cells will be discussed. Human embryonic stem cells are amazing, disease fighting agents found inside the
