ABSTRACT Stem cells have offered much hope by promising to greatly extend the numbers and range of patients who could benefit from transplants‚ and to provide cell replacement therapy to treat debilitating diseases such as diabetes‚ Parkinson ’s and Huntington ’s disease. The issue of stem cell research is politically charged‚ prompting biologists to begin engaging in ethical debates‚ Stem cell research offers great promise for understanding basic mechanisms of human development and differentiation

Should Embryonic Stem-Cell Research Be Banned? In recent times‚ there is a great deal of controversy surrounding stem-cell research. Some say that it will contribute substantially in curing diseases like cancer‚ Parkinson’s‚ Lou-Gehrig’s‚ etc while others claim that it violates the ethical and moral norms and principles of the society. Bills promoting stem-cell research have been vetoed several times‚ making it a political issue as well. However‚ stem-cell research should not be banned because

The ethical and political controversy is centered on extracting the stem cells from the embryo. The only way to obtain the cells is by destroying the embryo‚ placing the moral status of an embryo into question. This research plays with two important principles: “the duty to prevent or alleviate suffering‚ and the duty to respect the value of human life” (Hug 108). Embryonic stem cell research

cancer. The doctors said there was little to no chances of her surviving‚ and there was nothing more they could do- unless an embryonic stem cell transplant was possible. Although some people may think otherwise‚ I believe that stem cell research on embryos should be continued because scientists will be able to find a safe solution to curing dangerous diseases‚ the research won’t be hurting anyone‚ and it could lead to more scientific breakthroughs. Currently‚ there are many incurable diseases affecting

In the movie Multiplicity‚ Doug Kinney is a construction worker struggling to make a living. When a scientist offers to clone him‚ Doug accepts the offer and creates an improved version of himself. At first‚ Doug’s clones seem to lift burdens off his shoulders. But as the movie progresses‚ his clones start to take over his home‚ job‚ and even his wife. With the advanced technology in our modern world‚ similar situations may become a reality. Therefore‚ the public should be informed about the different
