The Ethics of Stem Cell Research By Aly Beall English 102 F Professor Stott 11 December 2012 Aly Beall ENG 102 F Professor Stott Due Date: December 11‚ 2012 The Ethics of Stem Cell Research Stem Cells are unspecified cells that have the capability to renew themselves through cell division. They can be made to become tissue or organ specified cells; for example they can be turned into muscle cells‚ red blood cells‚ or even brain cells. There is much disagreement on the ethics

Essay based on the topic: “On the issue of cloning‚ an early pioneer of cloning research‚ Dr. James D. Watson‚ believed that over time society would see that the good would outweight the bad”. Articles read for supporting the matter: “Animals Cloned” by Tim Reid‚ and “Cloning and Stemm Cell Research: A summary of the Current Ethical Dilemmas”‚ by Neil Thompson. The researches on cloning are old but it reached some heated debates in the lasts decades. This matter became more famous in media after

Harris Mrs. Ruth English 12 Honors 12 March 2013 Embryonic Stem Cell Research Embryonic Stem cell research is it an ethical issue or medical miracle? Embryonic stem cell research is a method of retrieving the inner cells from a fetus (Korenman). The main issues with embryonic stem cells are where they come from‚ the ethical issues‚ what they can do‚ and the treatments used with them. Because of the advances Embryonic Stem Cell Research has made in cancer‚ blood disorders‚ and other diseases it should

Stem cells are cells that are capable of generating specialized cells for specific areas of the human body. There are two different categories of stem cells. They are the adult or somatic stem cells and the embryonic stem cells. The embryonic stem cell is spawned when a recently fertilized egg divides‚ which is then capable of becoming any cell in the human body. The embryonic cells are vital because unlike the adult stem cells‚ embryonic cells have the ability to spawn every type of cell that

What Benefits Can Be Derived From Stem Cell Research? Stem Cell Research has been extremely controversial recently. There are two sides to this issue. Many people reject the idea because they believe it violates their religious beliefs. The political parties find this research to be very expensive and they also believe this issue is similar to abortion. On the other hand‚ the medical community is in favor of stem cell investigation because it has been known to help people with major diseases

On August 9‚ 2001‚ President George W. Bush announced to a national audience his decision and new policy on stem cell research. President Bush explained to the United States how he would not allow federal money for new stem cell research. Federal money could only be used for existing stem cell lines. For any new stem cell research‚ the money must come from the private sector (Ruse‚ 11). This controversial decision is still a widely debated topic that is in the forefront of the current political

Policy Topic: Stem Cell Research Health Care Policy: The Past and the Future: HCS/455 A very controversial subject in the United States has been Stem Cell research. The United States has a very complicated legal and political history when Stem Cell laws and policies come into play. Scientifically speaking‚ the practice of stem cell research and treatments consists of the use of cells found in all multi-cellular organisms. There are two different types of stem cells‚ adult stem cells and embryonic

Pros: Embryotic stem cells could cure numerous diseases‚ and provide organs to people on the transplant list. Because of the high demand of organs‚ innumerable people die waiting for a transplant. If scientist discover how to create organs‚ lives will be saved. There is research that shows that it could be possible to use the patient’s own cells instead of embryonic stem cells. Cons: There are concerns with obtaining stem cells. Stem cells are acquired from human embryo or fetus‚ and can cause birth

dissected and tested on‚ only to discover more about embryonic stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are cells in an unborn child’s body that can become any cell in the human body. In a lab‚ these cells can be reproduced and- if further research is conducted- can be used to create body parts. Having been read in class‚ the book Frankenstein by Mary Shelley relates to embryonic stem cells‚ for both Frankenstein’s creature and embryonic stem cells cause the destruction of many people. In Frankenstein‚ a young

Can Stem Cell Therapy Cure Kidney Failure? Stem cells‚ often described as core building blocks of the human body‚ have the unique capacity to self-renew and replicate when activated into almost any cell in the body given the right environment. Stem cells can thus be used to repair or replace diseased or damaged tissues‚ offering enormous potential for curing many diseases. Therefore it is no wonder that stem cell therapy has been a subject of intense research over the years. Today stem cell therapy
