Research on stem cells is knowledge constantly being explored about how an organism evolves from a single cell and how cells in good condition are put in place of cells that no longer work. The outcome that is anticipated from doing this research is that if scientist can fine tune stem cells into regular cells like blood or heart muscles and put it back into the body, then possibly they may find a cure for some of the widespread diseases that exist in our world today such as diabetes, leukemia, and many more by replacing those weak cells with youthful cells. Eventually this research might lead to realistic, reasonably priced ways to get rid of many diseases through DNA engineering but is it really worth risking lives if the reality is only a possibility? There must be other ways to find a cure without extracting stem cells.
Stem cells are astonishing in the fact that they can be used to treat a profuse amount of deadly diseases including Leukemia, Diabetes, and Parkinson’s. The two main types of bodily stem cells are: embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. In an embryo, stem cells can separate into all of the specific embryonic tissues. In adult structures, stem cells and parent cells act as a repair system for the body, mending specialized cells, but also maintaining the normal loss of important nurturing organs, such as blood, skin, or intestinal tissues.
Stem cells can evolve into any of the two hundred and twenty different cell types that exist in the human body and are beneficial as research instruments and possibly, in the future, will be used to cure a universal area of epidemics. But until then, I believe that finding other ways to cure a disease is better then risking someone’s life because researchers do not have sufficient information or practice. They are and have been called “miracle cells” ("Mibba Creative Writing") by many researchers just for this reason. They have no clear-cut job in the
