Embryonic Stem Cell Research Should Be Federally Funded The undifferentiated cells of a human embryo‚ referred to as stem cells‚ hold limitless promise for medical research. When a human embryo consists of not more than 64 cells‚ its cells are able to learn new ways of being. If injected into a diseased kidney‚ they take on many of the properties of ordinary kidney cells‚ and may help the kidney to perform its normal function. This seems to hold for any organ‚ even any kind of cell. (Goldstein)

What does Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein and stem cell research have in common? The concept of renewing life. Stem cells are a class of cells that are completely variable and can take the shape of virtually any type of cell. The medical applications of stem cells are potentially limitless‚ and are already in use to cure a fair amount of diseases. Stem cells have their miracle healing abilities‚ and in Frankenstein‚ the scientist figures out a way to bring the dead back to life with science. This

Is human embryonic stem cell research ethical? Yes. Some disagree because it is TRUE that‚ this embryonic stem cell will one day become a living person. I am not opposing this particular point. What I’m trying to state‚ is that‚ we don’t need embryonic stem cells from people who are interested to make a baby. Instead of those 1.3 million people who are choosing to have an abortion‚ or those people who are throwing a life into the gutters just a 1 minute pleasure… they can be the cause of saving

Stem Cell Research Imagine family members or close friends had the chance to treat a genetic disease‚ or transplant a damaged organ with their own cells. These things will be able to become possible with the help of stem cell research. With governmental restriction‚ and not enough funding‚ stem cell research has taken several steps in reverse regarding progression and development of programs and studies. Many clinical trials and laboratory testings helping better understand the human body have been

Michell Henning Research Paper Period 2 M.Kelsay 12/18/2012 Embryos and Ethics Embryotic stem cell research has been in the public eye for quite some time‚ and has formed an ethical debate between many. Scientists have been researching and testing embryos to determine the possible uses for them. The work done with embryos can allow parents to select certain characteristics for their future child. Frozen embryos can be used later on for in-vitro fertilization‚ allowing a couple to

Stem Cell Research: A Moral and Ethical Debate Stem Cell Research A Moral and Ethical Debate Imagine your life at the age of 32. It is as perfect as you could have ever imagined it. You are married with three beautiful children; two girls and a boy. Your oldest daughter is complaining of stumbling and clumsiness‚ so you take her to the doctor. You are devastated to learn that she‚ along with your other two children‚ have a neurological disorder called Batten Disease. This is a rare

debated whether embryonic stem cell research is necessary to human life. The heated topic has many pros and cons on each side. I believe that embryonic stem cell research could be beneficial if used for the right reasons and by the right people. Some say that the research will conflict with ethical‚ moral‚ and political views. Stem cells are nonspecialized cells that can create other types of specific cells. These cells serve as a repair system inside of many tissues. The cells divide with no limit as

Should Embryonic Stem-Cell Research Be Banned? In recent times‚ there is a great deal of controversy surrounding stem-cell research. Some say that it will contribute substantially in curing diseases like cancer‚ Parkinson’s‚ Lou-Gehrig’s‚ etc while others claim that it violates the ethical and moral norms and principles of the society. Bills promoting stem-cell research have been vetoed several times‚ making it a political issue as well. However‚ stem-cell research should not be banned because

Jade Chun Dvorak English 102 24 November‚ 2006 Embryonic Stem Cell Research: Just a Bad Idea Embryonic stem cell research has been an issue of great controversy ever since it began. In 1998 a group of scientists led by Dr. James Thompson at the University of Wisconsin developed a way to isolate and grow stem cells in order to do research (Stem Cell Basics). Many studies have shown that success in embryonic stem cell research could lead to therapies that could prevent and cure various
