    to secure future lives. In fact‚ individuals find abortion to exist as murder because an embryo presents a form of human life. As a result‚ they condemn stem cell research that requires abortions. In contrast‚ others argue that interests like stem cell research‚ population conservation and financial convenience justify abortion. They also believe that an embryo consists of a woman’s body. To clarify‚ an embryo develops at

    that is the source of much medical promise yet much controversy as well. The type of stem cells required‚ embryonic stem cells‚ are only obtainable one way: through the destruction of human embryos. In 1996‚ the Dickey-Wicker Amendment was passed‚ making the government unable to fund any research where human embryos are created or destroyed. At first the amendment was a minor obstacle the government had to work around to still get the stem cell scientists the money they needed. It wasn’t until August

    blocks of the body because as an embryo‚ the body is formed out of stem cells that transform into the various specialized cells in the body. Most stem cells in adults are cells types like muscle‚ bone or nerves‚ but they don’t preform a specialized function. When needed‚ the stem cells transform into a cell that performs a specialized function. In adults‚ stem cells are most commonly obtained from bone marrow. Other places to acquire stem cells include fetuses‚ embryos and umbilical cords. Stem cells

    ES cell is created by destroying an embryo. Other scientists think ES cells will also be a promising source because it is composed of your own DNA‚ so the immune system won ’t reject the cell. While scientists would agree that the same laws should apply because they believe in finding a cure to diseases‚ other people would disagree. Some people would say that ES cells are unethical because scientists need a human egg donor‚ and they must destroy a human embryo. The laws should not be the same for

    dangerous right now as it is to the embryos. The embryos       First‚ the genetic engineering itself may not work correctly. Choosing a certain type of gene‚ say for hair color‚ may turn off a different gene‚ say for aging longer (this would be telomerase‚ for the curious) (Agar). This type of problem may not manifest itself until the baby is actually born. Furthermore‚ the parents may not get what they expect. Hypothetically‚ they might choose a female embryo with fair skin‚ dark hair‚ and a minimal

    Over many years‚ the idea of genetically modifying human embryos has been an extremely controversial topic. A global network of stem cell researchers named Hixton Group released a statement claiming that genetic modification is essential to gain basic understanding of the biology of early embryos. Being able to modify and study embryos would bring tremendous value to science. Although the group didn’t particularly encourage changing embryos for personal reasons‚ they strongly believe that when all

    amounts of stem cells can be found in early stage embryos in comparison to the adult human body where there are not as many present. Stem cells are “unspecialized” cells which have the potential to produce different types of specialist cells such as brain‚ muscle‚ or tissue cells. On January the 22nd 2001‚ the British House of Lords voted to relax the restrictions on the use of human embryonic stem cells. This has allowed scientists to use early stage embryos for therapeutic purposes. And whilst this has
