Michell Henning Research Paper Period 2 M.Kelsay 12/18/2012 Embryos and Ethics Embryotic stem cell research has been in the public eye for quite some time‚ and has formed an ethical debate between many. Scientists have been researching and testing embryos to determine the possible uses for them. The work done with embryos can allow parents to select certain characteristics for their future child. Frozen embryos can be used later on for in-vitro fertilization‚ allowing a couple to

and allowing research to be developed for embryonic stem cell is exactly what is being portrayed. Embryonic stem cells are derived from a egg that has been fertilized by your egg and sperm as the donors and taken into vitro for study or whatever else may go on in a laboratory for stem cell research. Embryonic stem cells are life and it would be taking a life away to proceed in the research that I do not support. I do not support embryonic stem cell research and the study shouldn’t be continued as it

Embryonic Stem Cell Research Should Be Federally Funded The undifferentiated cells of a human embryo‚ referred to as stem cells‚ hold limitless promise for medical research. When a human embryo consists of not more than 64 cells‚ its cells are able to learn new ways of being. If injected into a diseased kidney‚ they take on many of the properties of ordinary kidney cells‚ and may help the kidney to perform its normal function. This seems to hold for any organ‚ even any kind of cell. (Goldstein)

Is human embryonic stem cell research ethical? Yes. Some disagree because it is TRUE that‚ this embryonic stem cell will one day become a living person. I am not opposing this particular point. What I’m trying to state‚ is that‚ we don’t need embryonic stem cells from people who are interested to make a baby. Instead of those 1.3 million people who are choosing to have an abortion‚ or those people who are throwing a life into the gutters just a 1 minute pleasure… they can be the cause of saving

In vitro fertilization and human embryonic stem cell research are two of the most popular and controversial topics that are being discussed today. Lee Silver‚ from the film defines in vitro fertilization as: [T]ak[ing] the process of reproduction out of the darkness of the womb‚ into the light of the laboratory. And all of the sudden you can do anything you want with these human embryos and eggs‚ which couldn ’t be done before (Holt). The real question regarding all of the varying opinions and

against the use of stem cells in medicine? Stem cells – often referred to as “the building blocks of the human body” are like the basic ingredient needed in order to create a human being. This is why large amounts of stem cells can be found in early stage embryos in comparison to the adult human body where there are not as many present. Stem cells are “unspecialized” cells which have the potential to produce different types of specialist cells such as brain‚ muscle‚ or tissue cells. On January the

Moral Theory and Ethics in Human Stem Cell Research Stem cells give the field of medicine amazing possibilities in research and development. These special cells have the capability to possibly correct and prevent Alzheimer ’s‚ Parkinson ’s‚ multiple sclerosis‚ spinal cord injuries (Reaves‚ 2001). Stem cell research is based on two areas; the adult stem cell and the human embryonic stem cell. The ethical and legal issues arise on the area of human embryonic stem cell.
