Pros: Embryotic stem cells could cure numerous diseases‚ and provide organs to people on the transplant list. Because of the high demand of organs‚ innumerable people die waiting for a transplant. If scientist discover how to create organs‚ lives will be saved. There is research that shows that it could be possible to use the patient’s own cells instead of embryonic stem cells. Cons: There are concerns with obtaining stem cells. Stem cells are acquired from human embryo or fetus‚ and can cause birth

recently discovered the endless possibilities of the so called embryonic stem cells. It has been said that these cells have the ability to repair an entire tissue or even create a copy of it. It is also said to be a potential cure for innumerable serious diseases such as the Alzheimer and the Parkinson’s disease. This is why stem cell research should definitely be funded for the enormous impact it can make in the medical field. Stem cell research is perhaps one of the most controversial topics in modern

Stem Cell Research Stem cell research is no longer a future unrealistic concept‚ it is here and having enormous impacts on the medical field. Stem cells are the primary cells that can be trained to develop into any human cell tissue such as muscle‚ skin‚ and brain. However‚ in embryonic stem cell research‚ to retrieve stem cells from embryos requires a process called therapeutic cloning where a person’s DNA is put into an unfertilized human egg (effectively cloning a person)‚ the embryo is then

Stem cell research has the potential to affect the lives of millions of Americans. In my research you will understand; the history of stem cell research‚ International stem cell control list‚ and the legislation. Hopefully‚ after reading this you will be able to form a strong opinion on stem cell research. What is stem cell research? According to Stem cell information‚ “An adult cell is thought to be an undifferentiated cell( cell that is not developed) which is found among developed cells in

Stem cells are primitive cells found in embryos‚ fetuses‚ and recently adults that can grow into 210 types of cells in the body. James A. Thomson‚ an embryologist at the University of Wisconsin‚ and John D. Gearhart of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine announced on Thursday‚ November 8 1998 that they and their colleagues had isolated the cell. Scientists have tried for years to find stem cells because of their great medical value. Diseases such as Diabetes‚ Bone Marrow Cancer‚ Chronic

INTRODUCTION Embryonic stem cell research and medication is a controversial topic that best displays the battle between ethics and science. Stem cells can bring new possibilities to medicine and biology by understanding how diseases form‚ and affect the body. With this research new cures could be made. The controversy is over whether or not itś ethical to use these embryonic stem cells because they have the potential to become a human being. Using Embryonic stem cells will bring more good than

federal government authorized stem cell research. There has been much controversy revolving around this type of research‚ especially the embryonic stem cell. Do you agree or disagree with the stem cell research. Why? Stem Cell Research is the process in which scientists use human cells in order to create new cells‚ examples including brain‚ nerve‚ liver cells‚ and some tissues. Stem cell research includes embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. Although the research can be medically beneficial
