I. Stem Cell Research A. Silvio had a spinal cord injury at the base of his neck [which is classified as a Grade A injury‚ according to the] American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (AIS). Grade A is considered the worst‚ which indicates a "complete" spinal cord injury where no motor or sensory function is preserved in the sacral segments S4-S5. Silvio was left with no movement of his legs and minimal movement of his fingers. At 2 years after injury‚ he received his own adult stem cells

Abstract Alzheimer’s is a dangerous disease that has been troubling the citizens of the United States of America. Approximately‚ 5 million Americans of all ages have developed this disease; but most of the people affected are above the age of 65. Alzheimer’s affects the nervous system; this neurodegenerative disease tends to occur when nerve cells in the brain slowly start to die.

Stem cell research and use is a good idea because it saves lives‚ it can treat really bad diseases‚ it can give people a better life‚ and because stem cells could treat even more illnesses in the future. I think that stem cell research and use is a good idea because it saves the lives of many people and it cures diseases. According to the article Embryonic Stem Cell Therapy ‘Morally Unacceptable’ by Josephine Quintavalle states “An estimated 56 diseases have been treated with the use of adult

Stem Cell Research is becoming more popular in today’s time. Throughout this essay I will discuss and support how it can save lives; but also the pros and cons of the research. I believe that this could be the start of something new. In today’s society the peoples have a different perspective on stem cell research; such as murder or why destroy to create better. As a medical ethics it is my job to inform you about how this research could change the future in either a positive or a negative way whichever

Embryonic stem cells help treat tough diseases that our bodies attracted‚ and can not fight off. If we continue to use embryonic stem cells then the treatment for these tough diseases will be more efficient. “ Stem cells are expected to be most useful in treating tough diseases.(those that arise from problems with various genes‚ and are often related to environmental causes)” (Pearson). This information is saying that embryonic stem cells are more useful than any other stem cells because they are
