difference between embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells is that an embryonic stem cell is not fully developed and with no specific cell tissues. Embryonic stem cells are found in the inner cells mass of the early embryo. The very first embryonic stem cells are totipotent (can be able to create all kinds of cells) but the rest after that are pluripotent which means that it can create many different types of cells such as white blood cells‚ nerve cells‚ and neurons. Adult stem cells are less flexible than

On August 9‚ 2001‚ President George W. Bush announced to a national audience his decision and new policy on stem cell research. President Bush explained to the United States how he would not allow federal money for new stem cell research. Federal money could only be used for existing stem cell lines. For any new stem cell research‚ the money must come from the private sector (Ruse‚ 11). This controversial decision is still a widely debated topic that is in the forefront of the current political

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

Stem Cells Stem Cells are fundamentally cell templates. These cell templates are used to create all the cells in our body. Stem cells under the right circumstances are manipulated into other cells‚ such as mussel cells and liver cells. The thing that makes stem cells so useful is that not only can they become almost any cell in your body but they also have the special characteristics to be able to self re-new or multiplying while still keeping the potential to become useful cells for our body

ARE STEM CELLS? Before I can explain the cons of stem cell research‚ I must explain what stem cells actually are. Stem cells are defined as essentially the beginning cells of a human being‚ which are capable of becoming all or many of the 210 different kinds of tissues in the human body. 1 These cells divide‚ generating two "daughter cells"‚ one of which will become something new and another which will replace the original cell. That is where the term "stem" comes from‚ meaning stem cells give

Embryonic stem cells help treat tough diseases that our bodies attracted‚ and can not fight off. If we continue to use embryonic stem cells then the treatment for these tough diseases will be more efficient. “ Stem cells are expected to be most useful in treating tough diseases.(those that arise from problems with various genes‚ and are often related to environmental causes)” (Pearson). This information is saying that embryonic stem cells are more useful than any other stem cells because they are

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 to that argument researchers
