Stem cell research is often at the forefront of heated ethical debates due to its assessment of human life. If stem cell research cannot be ethically defended‚ then it should not be conducted. “You cannot defend a study ethically unless the presumed cost is lower than expected benefits. The cost-benefit analysis of scientific research needs to include human/animal discomfort/risks‚ environmental issues‚ material costs‚ etc” which is necessary to support the positive outcome which the research claims

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

As pleasing as this may sound‚ such occurrences just do not seem realistic or even possible in today’s world. Although‚ if we take a step back and look into time travel on a smaller scale‚ at the cellular level‚ it is indeed possible to revert to an earlier stage of life. Specifically focusing on terminally differentiated

experimented on everyday and are unaware of it. Some view the lives of these children as nothing or only good for testing on. These children are called embryos and they are being killed everyday. This experiment or research is used for embryonic stem cell research. It is morally wrong and should not be continued. Embryos grow into fetus which then grows into a baby. Life begins when an embryo is fertilized. If human life begins at fertilization then disassembling embryos is killing human life. In

Biology 103 Stem cells are known as the foundation of our bodies‚ and without them we would be unable to repair various organs or tissues whenever they may become damaged. Stem cells are very extraordinary cells because after division and a new cell is created‚ they are able to either remain a stem cell or turn into an even more specialized cell such as a muscle cell‚ red blood cell‚ or brain cell. Until recently‚ there were only two major types of stem cells‚ known as embryonic stem cells and adult

the recent biomedical research is “Human Stem Cell” from which all 210 different kinds of tissue in the human body originate(the Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity‚ 94). Additionally‚ UNESCO states that separating some inner cell mass from the embryo at the blastocyst stage‚ they can be cultured to produce pluripotent stem cells‚ capable of developing into blood ‚ muscle‚ or many other kinds of tissues and organs of the body (13). Thus‚ at first “Stem Cell” may sound hopeful for human life but

Stem cell research is a new technique developed to extract stem cells from human embryos and aborted fetuses. Stem cells are cells from a human organism which are capable of becoming many different kinds of human tissue in the body. Stem cells‚ specifically‚ are cells that have not been fully differentiated as particular cells and can potentially become any tissue in the human body. The major purposes or goals of doing stem cell research are to gain scientific knowledge about embryonic development

Embryonic stem cells are stem cells that come from inner mass cells of a human embryo that are undifferentiated. They are a new and innovative way to help people of society‚ and with all innovative ideas comes controversy. Some people believe that embryonic stem cells should not be researched or toyed with‚ while others are all for it. Embryonic stem cell research is a positive thing that can enhance the world in several ways. It can boost the economy‚ save the lives of many people‚ and not offend

and allowing research to be developed for embryonic stem cell is exactly what is being portrayed. Embryonic stem cells are derived from a egg that has been fertilized by your egg and sperm as the donors and taken into vitro for study or whatever else may go on in a laboratory for stem cell research. Embryonic stem cells are life and it would be taking a life away to proceed in the research that I do not support. I do not support embryonic stem cell research and the study shouldn’t be continued as it

Embryonic VS Adult Stem Cell Research Stem cell research just by saying its name creates an uneasy feeling because it is such a controversial topic. There are many ethical and moral issues that make people uneasy because they can’t decided whether they should side with the more ethical side of this research‚ adult stem cell‚ or the more well known‚ embryonic stem cell. This ethical issue between the two research categories gives rise to another issue that isn’t usually discussed. This issue is
