Human stem cell research is a novel technology that will benefit society as a whole. This bold statement represents a current debate high on the ethical and political agendas across the globe. Although the potential benefits of using human stem cells in the treatment of diseases are vast and clear‚ their use remains controversial due to the public perception of their source and methods of extraction. However‚ it is undeniable stem cell research is key in the treatment and reversal of a range of medical

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

The doctors said there was little to no chances of her surviving‚ and there was nothing more they could do- unless an embryonic stem cell transplant was possible. Although some people may think otherwise‚ I believe that stem cell research on embryos should be continued because scientists will be able to find a safe solution to curing dangerous diseases‚ the research won’t be hurting anyone‚ and it could

Reed 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;

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

In recent years past‚ Embryonic Stem Cell research has caused a moral and ethical debate. In order To obtain embryonic stem cells‚ an early embryo has to be destroyed. To most people this act would seem highly unethical as you are potentially destroying new life. But others argue that the early stages of an embryo lack the physical mental and emotional capabilities of a human being‚ as well as most embryos being harvested have had yet to attach to the uterus in order to further develop. In addition

Since I started school I have had a keen interest in science. As I progressed through school my love of science changed to biology of all forms‚ from a molecular level to ecosystems as a whole and this was a key factor in my decision to study biological science as it covered a broad spectrum of biology based topics. Studying for my MSci degree opened my eyes to many new areas of biology and found two areas of biology that interested me the most: microbiology and cell biology and during my final two
