debated whether embryonic stem cell research is necessary to human life. The heated topic has many pros and cons on each side. I believe that embryonic stem cell research could be beneficial if used for the right reasons and by the right people. Some say that the research will conflict with ethical‚ moral‚ and political views. Stem cells are nonspecialized cells that can create other types of specific cells. These cells serve as a repair system inside of many tissues. The cells divide with no limit as

of the embryonic stem cell research. Embryonic stem cell research came from identical inner mass cells of a human embryo. Embryonic cells are able to grow into all derivatives of these primary germ layers ectoderm‚ endoderm‚ and mesoderm. Embryonic stem cell research would be a good thing for humans because human embryos for stem cell research can help a number of patients‚ they can be used by scientists to find cure for several medical conditions‚ and the stem cell research may be a treatment for

ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY NAME | : | SIFAJEE | TITLE | : | ANIMALS SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR CLINICAL RESEARCH IN MALAYSIA | Abstract There is no doubt that throughout the centuries‚ animals have played a central role in medical research in Malaysia. Many of the treatments available for serious illnesses we have today have come from animal experimentation. There has been recorded that the use of animals in research has been going on as far back as the Greek writings. According to the history‚ Aristotle

In order to test medicines and medical procedures‚ animals--like mice‚ rats‚ dogs‚ and cats--are often used in order to avoid actually testing on humans. Unfortunately‚ some of these tests are not only painful for the animals‚ but they also do not result in medicines or procedures that can actually be used on humans. Animals should not be used for medical research because animals have rights as living creatures‚ the tests are a waste of time and

Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is a group of inherited red blood cell disorders. People with Sickle Cell Disease have abnormal hemoglobin‚ called hemoglobin S or sickle hemoglobin‚ in their red blood cells. People with SCD inherit two abnormal hemoglobin genes‚ one from each of their parents. One of these abnormal hemoglobin genes causes the production of hemoglobin S in the body.1 When a person has two hemoglobin S genes‚ Hemoglobin SS‚ this disease is called Sickle Cell Anemia.1 This is the most common

Dr. Harold Wolf of Medical Research Corporation (MRC) discovered a unique electronic stimulator that is said to have the capability of reducing the pain from arthritis. Even though the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) still has to approve the device‚ and the testing is in the early stages‚ the interest generated is powerful. Dr. Wolf has received three offers from interested parties and needs to decide which offer would make the most business sense. Offer One includes additional monetary incentives

making hydrogen fuel cell vehicles an everyday fact of life‚ with several test models set to debut over the next few years. Hydrogen fuel cells to power vehicles are desirable‚ experts say‚ because hydrogen is a renewable fuel that can be used to create electricity to run cars. A chemical reaction between oxygen and hydrogen produces the electric power‚ and when pure hydrogen is used‚ the only emission from the tailpipe is harmless water vapor. Many people are asking‚ “Why fuel cells?” The gasoline engine

Stem Cell Research Stem cell research has always been a controversial subject and will always be debated. The idea of taking a stem cell out of a baby that has not been born yet‚ and put in somebody else to save their life seems morally wrong to some people. Other people us playing god and altering his work to perfect our selves. But there are people that look at it and say is it both a miracle of science and see the future brighter than they did because of it. Stem cell research was started in
