artificial embryo twinning was performed by Hans Adolf Edward Dreisch using a sea urchin (National Human Genome Research Institute). In this simple experiment‚ Dreisch proved that shaking two-celled sea urchin embryos separated them and allowed each cell to grow into full sea urchins. What was learned by this experiment was that embryos in early stages of development have their own set of genes and can grow into full organisms‚ giving way for the principles of cloning used today. From then on‚ multiple

“It was quite a wild idea‚” said Lorenz Studer‚ Director of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center’s Center for Stem Cell Biology and new MacArthur Foundation “genius” grant recipient. He’s talking about the obsession that’s shaped his life since he was a young medical student in Switzerland a quarter of a century ago: a question that just might change the way medicine works. Is it possible to create and transplant brain tissue to heal conditions like Parkinson’s disease? [Ask a MacArthur genius:

Messages included in this cartoon is “ It’s unethical to spend Taxpayer dollars to destroy human embryos.”‚ “Human beings- ok”‚ and “Stem cell research veto”.

Searching for stem cell news on the internet reveals a never-ending amount of pages with web sites about breakthroughs in stem-cell research. Such articles included potential cures to diabetes‚ Parkinson’s‚ leukemia‚ and various forms of cancer. This research could potentially lead to these terrible diseases’ near end. In Andrew Niccol’s Gattaca‚ a society is portrayed where there are no diseases due to advanced genetic engineering. This movie‚ based in the future‚ depicts couples that are able

work from 2002 “Religion and Human Cloning: An Exploratory Analysis of the First Available Opinion Data”‚ John Evans proudly states a few possible benefits‚ or advantages‚ of human ‘therapeutic’ cloning. While talking about embryonic stem cells‚ he states “these cells can eventually be used to treat diseases such as Alzheimer’s‚ Parkinson’s‚ and kidney failure‚ to name but a few…”(748). These possibilities have mostly been confirmed since the publishing of Evans’ piece and other more incredible possibilities

Emotions in the Acquisition of Knowledge What influence does emotion have in the pursuit of knowledge across the areas of knowledge‚ history‚ ethics and science? Furthermore is it good or bad? Knowledge itself is neither good nor bad; rather how one choice of approach on the intentioned use of that knowledge could be argued otherwise. Opinions on Emotions and Knowledge contradict each other when it comes to the decision whether or not emotions are good or bad depending on intentions under specific

A New Promise Everyday‚ whether an adult or a child‚ individuals are sat down to receive the awful news that they have been diagnosed with fatal diseases. Diseases such as cancer‚ Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s are a few of them. Such illnesses are now considered as incurable and lethal. However‚ have not illnesses such as Polio seemed incurable to mankind at one point? The first Polio epidemic occurred in 1894‚ which spread fear and a contagious virus. It was not until 1955‚ that a vaccine for Polio

acknowledge that an authentication of medical research is to commit no harm so long as it has been determined that no other method of acquiring an appropriate good exists within the realms of science. Current progression of break through in non-embryonic stem cell research shows that we have not completely reached that point of conviction (Gruen‚ Grabel‚ & Singer). An analogy that can be compared to this example is that though there may not be other means for research‚ restrictions against inflicting harm
