controversy surrounding it. The factors that we need to consider mainly fall on the status of the human embryo. Where does life begin? Most Christians believe that life begins upon conception. Doctors fertilize more than one egg‚ to keep a surplus stock of embryos for future use‚ is even this ethical? What would happen if one of those embryos died? Embryonic stem cells are taken from human embryos. The majority of these stem cells develop from eggs that have

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)

The Ministry of Health’s role is basically to lay the policy and the direction of health services in the country and to show the commitment of the Government‚ and the powers-to-be‚ that health is of utmost importance in nation building. And the role of the ministry is to enforce regulations and be the regulator. Imagine if there is no Ministry of Health‚ anybody can make the claim that their product is the best for health; anybody can set up a hospital. Nobody to regulate the quality of the workforce

stem cell research is: either the embryo is a human being or it’s not a human being‚ a person’s belief can help alter their decision on being for or against the research‚ cloning could be the answer to saving a life‚ and the potential the embryonic research can have will make a big impact on the world. To say that an embryo is or is not a human depends on the person and the concept they have on when a life is actually started. Many say that it starts at the embryo‚ where others debate that it starts

embryonic stem cell research as it possesses very big ethical questions. The reason why ethics are involved is because human life is being destroyed and another life is being saved or bettered from the medicine which will be produced by killing an embryo which can potentially save a human

clones be discriminated against of would they be equals. The subject of cloning brings up many questions. Scientists have experimented with cloning in the past‚ and they created Dolly the sheep. With Dolly the sheep‚ scientists used the technique of “embryo splitting” and created a perfect clone of a sheep. Since Dolly the sheep was created there have be regulations preventing anymore research which might lead to a clone being produced. With stem cell research many advances in medical field occur every

Many are saying that scientists should not be experimenting with human life. Although an embryo is destroyed in the process of retrieving the cells‚ the research could lead to outcomes that could save many people’s lives. If the embryos are frozen and never touched again‚ then what is the point? They could be used for important medical purposes. Another concern for some people are that this cell research could

Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis & how did it begin? A. Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis (or PGD) is a procedure used with in-vitro fertilization and screens embryos for genetic disorders. 1. In PGD‚ a single cell from a 3-day old embryo is removed‚ fertilized in vitro‚ and then analyzed for genetic abnormalities. 2. Only the embryos that are free from the specified genetic mutation are implanted into the woman ’s uterus for conception. B. The concept of PGD is a relatively new phenomenon.
