Stem Cell Research Stem cell research is no longer a future unrealistic concept‚ it is here and having enormous impacts on the medical field. Stem cells are the primary cells that can be trained to develop into any human cell tissue such as muscle‚ skin‚ and brain. However‚ in embryonic stem cell research‚ to retrieve stem cells from embryos requires a process called therapeutic cloning where a person’s DNA is put into an unfertilized human egg (effectively cloning a person)‚ the embryo is then

recently discovered the endless possibilities of the so called embryonic stem cells. It has been said that these cells have the ability to repair an entire tissue or even create a copy of it. It is also said to be a potential cure for innumerable serious diseases such as the Alzheimer and the Parkinson’s disease. This is why stem cell research should definitely be funded for the enormous impact it can make in the medical field. Stem cell research is perhaps one of the most controversial topics in modern

Stem cells are primitive cells found in embryos‚ fetuses‚ and recently adults that can grow into 210 types of cells in the body. James A. Thomson‚ an embryologist at the University of Wisconsin‚ and John D. Gearhart of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine announced on Thursday‚ November 8 1998 that they and their colleagues had isolated the cell. Scientists have tried for years to find stem cells because of their great medical value. Diseases such as Diabetes‚ Bone Marrow Cancer‚ Chronic

STEM CELL RESEARCH AND THERAPYAND ITS IMPACTS ON SOCIETY Abstract There are several types of stem cells being used in stem cell research and therapy today. They are embryonic‚ adult and induced pluripotent stem cells. Each will be discussed further. This topic has stirred much moral‚ ethical and political debate as whether cells from fetuses should be used in this research. This impacts governmental policies on laws and funding. Another issue that must be analyzed is the

Stem cells agreement by Zayne Burnham Many scientists are now researching special types of cells called stem cells. Stem cells are very important and have the potential to cure many diseases; however there are also many issues to consider when using stem cells. Stem cells research has created concern for some in the community‚ national and international.beacause the best source of stem cells is growing human embryo. The dilemma is that the growing embryo is the earliest stage of human life extracting

Stem cells are unique because they have the ability to generate new cells of any kind during early life and growth. There are about 200 different types of cells in the body; such as muscle‚ skin and brain cells. Most of these cells have to be repaired or replaced once in a while. For example our taste buds are replaced every 10 days‚ skin cells every couple of weeks and liver cells every 300-500 days. Stem cells serve as an internal repair system dividing essentially without limit to replenish
