The medical team has decided that this patient is a good candidate for a clinical trial using stem cell therapy. Your friend has not had a biology course since high school‚ so you are going to write for him or her a two-page discussion of stem cell information. In your discussion‚ include a description of the biology of stem cells‚ and explain how these cells are unique in their

Speech: Informative- For/Against Tittle: Stem Cell Research Exact Purpose: After hearing my speech my audience will be able to learn about “Stem Cell Research”. Thesis: There are many advantages and disadvantages to “Stem Cell Research”. Attention Getter: How many of you heard about stem cell research or know anything about stem cell? - According to University of Nebraska Medical Center‚ Stem cells are the foundation cells for every organ and tissues in our body.

Suddenly‚ stem cells are everywhere. Once relegated to the depths of esoteric health journals‚ the microscopic clusters have made their way to the nation�s front pages. The complexity and drama surrounding these relatively simple cells has increased due a ticking clock: By the end of the month‚ President Bush is scheduled to decide whether to continue federal funding for stem cell research. The question of using stem cells for research is intrinsically scientific‚ and yet has become the political

RUNNING HEAD: Stem Cell Research- Reaction Paper Reaction Paper: Stem Cell Research Heather A. Lail Liberty University Stem cell research has bought about heated debate since the time it was reviled. Many different debates have been raised to justify and unjustified the use of stem cells for research throughout the years. The two most enduring debates that have stood the test of time have been the legal and ethical issues. The has been documented in countless research studies

Definition of ESCs Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are capable of propagating themselves indefinitely and can retain their ability to make all cell types within the organism. They form at the blastocyst stage of development. A blastocyst is a hollow ball of cells that is smaller than a pinhead. It has three structures- trophoblast‚ blastocoels and inner cell mass (Mandal‚ 2001). The embryonic stem cells lie within this ball of cells. Firstly‚ they are derived from embryos‚ specially obtained from eggs

Embryonic vs. Adult Stem Cells - Why Jean Swenson Doesn’t Support Embryonic Research and Why An Audience Would Listen As science becomes more and more advanced‚ there are many more ways to combat illnesses. Some of these are more successful and widely known‚ but one of the more controversial is stem cell research. In the article "Embryonic Stem Cell Fairy Tales"‚ Jean Swenson attempts to educate the public on why she believes many are prone to believing that embryonic stem cells (which have not been

Dilemma on Stem Research Discussion of the bioethics of human stem cell research has transitioned from controversies over the source of human embryonic stem cells to concerns about the ethical use of stem cells in basic and clinical research. Key areas in this evolving ethical discourse include the derivation and use of other human embryonic stem cell–like stem cells that have the capacity to differentiate into all types of human tissue and the use of all types of stem cells in clinical research. Each

Stem cells are an undifferentiated cell of a multicellular organism that is capable of giving rise to indefinitely more cells of the same type‚ and from which certain other kinds of cell arise by differentiation. The body is not able to produce new neurons to repair spinal cords injuries‚ such as those that cause paralysis. Because of this‚ there is no way for doctors to restore movement to paralyzed people. Stem cells may be the perfect solution to that problem. Researchers have found that implants
