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

Stem cells are a growing field for research. Many pursue this field due to the fact that it can solve many illnesses. Since stem cells are extracted from embryos‚ people have an ethical problem with it. Those who research stem cells believe there are ethical restrictions‚ but that is not true. As a result of stem cell research‚ embryos are being harmed or destroyed; therefore stem cell research should only be performed if there is an alternative solution. Stem cells are undefined cells that are

century‚ stem cell research has come a long way. Stem cells are critical because they are the original cells of the human body. All other cells come from the stem cells after they differentiate. Since their discovery‚ researchers have discovered different types of stem cells. The most controversial of these being embryonic stem cells. These cells are created from the embryo when it grows into a cluster of about 100 cells and are harvested from their nuclei. The debate behind embryonic stem cells has caused

2/15/13 Period 2 Research on the use of embryonic stem cells has sparked controversial debates all over the United States. What makes them so controversial? It is where they come from. Embryonic stem cells are “blank cells” harvested from an early stage embryo that have the potential to turn into any kind of cell in the human body. Usually‚ these embryos are unused from in vitro fertilizations and would otherwise be thrown away. Embryonic stem cells have the potential to treat people with diseases

might be a way to do that. Stem cell research despised by many may lead to cures and unimaginable human development? The public is scared because of negative outcomes such as cloning and etc. But who care about that. Our society needs to stop thinking in such a negative light and we may rise to the top and achieve goals with thought we wouldn’t see for years to come. Stem cell research has been looked down upon‚ but why? Scientist believe that the research of stem cells may lead to a brighter future

Embryonic Stem Cell Research Editorial Embryonic stem cell research is a very controversial topic in science today. Many people believe that it is morally wrong; others believe that it is an obvious solution to stem cell therapies and cures for disease. I personally believe that the research of embryonic stem cells is a perfectly good answer to many medical issues within the human body. While it is understandable that some people believe it to be wrong or immoral‚ it needs to be recognized that

STEM CELLS: THE BAD VS. THE GOOD THE BACKGROUND The use of embryonic stem cells to treat human diseases; is it unethical‚ questionable‚ helpful‚ in violation of law and policy or just the right answer for many‚ many diseases? All of these are great questions and are all questions that everyone and everybody has an opinion on at one time or another. To first really understand the controversy surrounding stem cell research you must know a little about its base; embryonic stem cells‚ “they are

Argumentative Essay: Stem Cells Research The modern science has achieved tremendous successes in different fields. In this respect‚ researches in the field of genetics are particularly noteworthy because they can start a new era in the medicine and science at large. However‚ today‚ the research of stem cells and their use in the modern medicine often confronts the opposition from the part of the public as well as specialists. In spite of a considerable progress in the stem cells research‚ it still

Stem cells are cells in living organisms are able to adapt to become specialized cell types. They can split apart and regenerate‚ which is an incredibly useful mechanism in our bodies because it allows us to grow and heal. Stem cell research has allowed medical breakthroughs to fight malignant and nonmalignant diseases and ailments. Stem cells are able to create tissue and organs. By researching stem cells‚ we can continue use them to our advantage. They prove very beneficial in treating medical

embryonic stem cell research.” Sandy Adams here expresses that embryonic stem cell research is morally wrong and she would never fund such a case. The original (Adult) stem cell research originated in the 1800’s but the first embryonic stem cell did not begin until 1988. A Hamster was the first then in 1985 one was derived from a primate. This began the takeoff of embryonic stem cell research‚ throughout history there has been one main successful attempt. Dolly the sheep was cloned using human stem cells
