BIO-013/ Stem Cell Research Sullivan 11.10.2010 STEM CELL RESEARCH What is a stem cell? One can define a stem cell as a cell type that is found in many tissues. This particular cell is unique in the fact that it can divide itself over and over virtually to an infinite number. This process of reproduction ensures that the cells can restore other cells that may have gotten damaged; this process may only occur if the person is still living. The same goes for animals. As the stem cell reproduces;

Sclerosis Is Being Treated With Stem Cell Based Therapy Multiple sclerosis or MS is a very difficult disease to live with. It affects vision‚ hearing‚ memory‚ and balance. According to the Multiple Sclerosis International Federation (2013) multiple sclerosis is usually diagnosed in women twice as much as men and affects people between the ages of 20 and 40. MS is a disease that influences nerve cells in the spinal chord and brain. In a healthy body‚ nerve cells send messages to the brain and the

Stem Cell Research: The Opportunity to Change Your Life Back to Normal Why is it that we don’t appreciate what we have until we don’t have it anymore? You don’t think much of your legs‚ your arms‚ or your eye. But it is only when you are unable to use one of these parts‚ or know that you will never be able to use it again‚ when you realize the grave importance of it. But what if I could tell you there is a way to repair the loss of that once unappreciated part of your body? With Stem Cell research

distasteful blessing to most‚ stem cells taken from aborted fetuses in order to conduct forward-moving health research‚ causes ethical chaos between those of 21st century science and those of impenetrable morality. The pros of this research factually out-weigh the cons created by humanity’s biased principals‚ but these ethical principals endowed to society upon generations will always argue what is “truly right.” What research has been done in the use of stem cells has shown to be very successful

Human should use embryonic stem cells to treat disease Stem cells can separate into different specialized cells and they are undifferentiated biological cells. It can also produce more stem cells through mitosis. Stem cells are found in organism that made by more than one cell such as mammals. There are two types of stem cells which are embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. Their characteristics are depends on their potential to build into different cell types such as muscle‚ heart‚ lung‚ bones

On the hot topic of human embryonic stem cell research and its moral/ethical ground‚ which side is right? Each side has great and truth bearing arguments. Each party is convinced that their choice is the correct one. Untimely to conclude with the most valid option‚ you must totally research and exhaust all facts of each argument as well as be open minded to both sides. It抯 important to find your decision based on the facts and not let your personal beliefs cloud your decision. To recap both arguments

to help cure a vast array of debilitating medical conditions. Thanks to stem cell research scientist are able to test new medications‚ learn how to repair or generate tissues or organs‚ understand disease processes and create many promising therapies. There is endless potential for scientists to learn about human growth and cell development from studying stem cells. However‚ there is a big controversy whether or not stem cell research is ethical‚ which continues to be an obstacle in advancing research

SANCTITY OF LIFE We all have different viewpoints when it comes to Embryonic Stem Cell Therapy. Majority of the individuals believes that it violates the sanctity of life because they consider the act of destroying a human blastocyst is equal to killing a human being. Embryos are considered humans from the moment of the union of the gametes; hence‚ it can be relayed as the weakest members of society. It is morally wrong to exploit the weak merely because some benefit can be derived from it
