placenta that is usually discarded after birth. However‚ it can be very beneficial to save a baby’s cord blood. Cord blood is rich with stem cells distinctive to that baby and family. Stem cells are important because they play a role in the development of all organs‚ tissues‚ and body systems. Stem cells can turn into other cells where they are needed. Stem cells are just as useful as bone marrow when it comes to treating disease‚ but they have a much lower rejection rate than marrow does. I am going

Genetic engineering is the manipulation of DNA within the cells of plants and animals‚ through synthesis‚ alteration‚ or repair‚ to ensure that certain harmful traits will be eliminated in offspring and that desirable traits will appear and be passed on. From the time Anna was born‚ she was poked and prodded for stems cells and bone marrow. As she gets older she realizes what is going to eventually happen to her and why her parents “brought”

I believe I would advocate for stem cell research in animals because of all the good it could do for adults and children alike. When done correctly it can prevent or cure diseases that claim millions! The Pros of stem cell research are many‚ for one this research can lead to cures for almost any disease caused by damaged organs or tissues as stem cells have the possibility to completely regenerate organs and tissues from any part of the body. Also the stem cell testing can lead to medical help

limb. Autotomy and tail regeneration can be broken down to several steps‚ from the severing of the old tail to the three phases of new tail growth (Hughes and New). While this process seems simple enough‚ further research is still being conducted on cell regeneration in humans. These reptiles are some of the few species in the world that are capable of autotomy and regeneration (Hughes and New). As stated before‚ autotomy is used primarily for defense. Some predators are more likely to trigger autotomy
