Stem Cell Research Advancements Tara Cantwell English 215 Professor Amanda McClure 02/10/2013 Stem Cell research could save the lives of many people suffering from diseases. Stem cells are organisms that are crucial in development. These non-specialized cells have a potential to create other cells such as; muscle cells‚ tissue‚ brain‚ and blood cells. Stem cells can even repair and replace damaged cells. With all this wonderful technology in our reach Ethics holds back the development of

The Importance of Stem Cell Research Over the last decade the use of stem cells has been a controversial and heated topic. Debates have exploded over every aspect of stem cell research in nearly every region of the world. It has been speculated by scientists that stem cell research may have the power to potentially cure incredibly harmful diseases or even regrown organs. However some find that the health issues seen in earlier attempts to use stem cell transplants and ethical controversies involved

play. Embryonic stem cell research has faced the negative spotlight for many years. The false misconceptions surrounding stem cells is clouded by the idea that they are acquired through intentionally killing a life of a potential human being. These false statements facilitated by anti-abortion organizations has slowed down the progress that could have been achieved through science on a logical and ethnically driven basis. Embryonic stem cells should be used for medical research because they harness

Alzheimer’s Disease Alzheimer’s is an irreversible‚ unexplained disease. It slowly destroys memory and thinking skills and‚ eventually it destroys the ability to carry out simple tasks. Most people with the Alzheimer’s start experiencing symptoms in their early 60s. The disease was named after Dr. Alois Alzheimer. In 1906 Dr. Alzheimer had a patient that died of an unknown mental illness. Before she died she had memory loss‚ language problems‚ and unpredictable behavior. After she died Dr. Alzheimer

ABSTRACT Stem cells have offered much hope by promising to greatly extend the numbers and range of patients who could benefit from transplants‚ and to provide cell replacement therapy to treat debilitating diseases such as diabetes‚ Parkinson ’s and Huntington ’s disease. The issue of stem cell research is politically charged‚ prompting biologists to begin engaging in ethical debates‚ Stem cell research offers great promise for understanding basic mechanisms of human development and differentiation
