THESIS STATEMENT: With the information I am about to give you‚ hopefully you would become a registered donor and save many lives after your death. BODY There are 120‚000 people on the waiting list to receive an organ transplant. Each day about 22 people die from either waiting or cannot find a correct match to get a transplant. In a year span over one thousand

For me‚ stem cell research is a more recently discovered passion. After reading a short bit about it in my high school biology textbook‚ I was very intrigued. Stem cell research has so much potential‚ from growing whole organs using new 3D printing technology to therapies for many diseases. I even wrote a paper supporting increased government funding for stem cell research and sent it to my local representative. Last semester‚ for my final paper in my neurology seminar. I was curious about the possibility

Introduction: What are stem cells? Stem cells are unspecialized cells with the capacity to divide and form specialized cells‚ when the circumstances call for it. There are two sources for stem cells: adult and embryonic. Adult stem cells are multipotent cells‚ which can be found in adult tissues. The cells are thought to reside in “niches” in organs and tissues‚ some of which are bone marrow‚ peripheral blood‚ skeletal muscle‚ brain‚ heart‚ and liver. These cells are capable of dividing following

Stem Cell Revisted George W. Bush was the United States of America’s 43rd president. During his presidency‚ Bush faced many ground breaking decisions that would help mold the nation’s growth. One such issue was that regarding the use of government funds to support stem cell research (“George W. Bush”). Stem cell research has long been deemed a taboo subject. People’s opinions can vary greatly regarding the use of stem cells to further research. Former president

Stem Cell Research Stem cell research has been happening for 30 or more years through bone marrow transplants‚ but has only been a major debate for about the past ten years with the first isolation of embryonic stem cells (UMichigan). According to a popular issues website the definition of stem cells is‚ "… contrasted with "differentiated" cells. They offer much hope for medical advancement because of their ability to grow into almost any kind of cell” (Pros and Cons…). One of the main debates

the recent biomedical research is “Human Stem Cell” from which all 210 different kinds of tissue in the human body originate(the Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity‚ 94). Additionally‚ UNESCO states that separating some inner cell mass from the embryo at the blastocyst stage‚ they can be cultured to produce pluripotent stem cells‚ capable of developing into blood ‚ muscle‚ or many other kinds of tissues and organs of the body (13). Thus‚ at first “Stem Cell” may sound hopeful for human life but

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells and Embryonic Stem Cells Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells made from human somatic cells are a very recent technology of our world. They were first created using mice in 2006‚ and were created from human cells in 2007 by Japanese and US scientists. For many people‚ they represent a beautiful work of science that will help to save many lives. Induced pluripotent stem cells are human skin cells that have been reprogrammed to have the stem cells ability to differentiate

that of stem cell research. Stem cells offer people hope by promising to greatly extend the number and range of patients who could benefit from transplants‚ and to provide novel therapies to treat debilitating diseases such as diabetes‚ Parkinson’s‚ Huntington’s‚ heart disease and stroke‚ as well as accidental damage such as spinal cord injury. So why would anyone object to research in this area? The problem is simply that a particular type of stem cell‚ which potentially could provide many cell types
