In 2001‚ the federal government authorized stem cell research. There has been much controversy revolving around this type of research‚ especially the embryonic stem cell. Do you agree or disagree with the stem cell research. Why? Up until recent years‚ research into stem cells was focused mainly on Embryonic Stem Cells‚ which involved taking tissue from an aborted embryo or fetus to get the most promising material for study. This was usually done only days after conception or between the fifth

In recent years past‚ 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

Argumentative Essay: Stem Cells Research The modern science has achieved tremendous successes in different fields. In this respect‚ researches in the field of genetics are particularly noteworthy because they can start a new era in the medicine and science at large. However‚ today‚ the research of stem cells and their use in the modern medicine often confronts the opposition from the part of the public as well as specialists. In spite of a considerable progress in the stem cells research‚ it still remains

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells and Embryonic Stem Cells Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells made from human somatic cells are a very recent technology of our world. They were first created using mice in 2006‚ and were created from human cells in 2007 by Japanese and US scientists. For many people‚ they represent a beautiful work of science that will help to save many lives. Induced pluripotent stem cells are human skin cells that have been reprogrammed to have the stem cells ability to differentiate

Stem Cell Research A twenty-two year old women just found out she had Stage IV Melanoma 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

bstract: Embryonic stem cell research involves the destruction of an embryo after stem cells are extracted. The ethical considerations of destroying an embryo results in a controversy where proponents of the research are pitted against pro life supporters who see the destruction of the embryo as immoral. This paper addresses the objections to embryonic stem cell research‚ similar to those against abortion‚ which are rooted in the belief that it is morally impermissible to intentionally take the life
