that of stem cell research. Stem cells offer people hope by promising to greatly extend the number and range of patients who could benefit from transplants‚ and to provide novel therapies to treat debilitating diseases such as diabetes‚ Parkinson’s‚ Huntington’s‚ heart disease and stroke‚ as well as accidental damage such as spinal cord injury. So why would anyone object to research in this area? The problem is simply that a particular type of stem cell‚ which potentially could provide many cell types

treatment of many diseases. Stem cell research has provided hope and has brought optimism among the scientists and doctors in curing the patients who suffered or died due to the once called "untreatable" diseases decades ago. Stem cells are the ones which can develop into any type of a body cell including the cells of blood‚ liver‚ brain‚ muscles‚ and many more. They are found in adult bone marrow‚ embryos‚ fetuses‚ and blood from the umbilical cord (Bailey 100). Stem cell research is the latest advancement

Stem Cell Research: The Opportunity to Change Your Life Back to Normal Why is it that we don’t appreciate what we have until we don’t have it anymore? You don’t think much of your legs‚ your arms‚ or your eye. But it is only when you are unable to use one of these parts‚ or know that you will never be able to use it again‚ when you realize the grave importance of it. But what if I could tell you there is a way to repair the loss of that once unappreciated part of your body? With Stem Cell research

BIO-013/ Stem Cell Research Sullivan 11.10.2010 STEM CELL RESEARCH What is a stem cell? One can define a stem cell as a cell type that is found in many tissues. This particular cell is unique in the fact that it can divide itself over and over virtually to an infinite number. This process of reproduction ensures that the cells can restore other cells that may have gotten damaged; this process may only occur if the person is still living. The same goes for animals. As the stem cell reproduces;

Stem Cell Revisted George W. Bush was the United States of America’s 43rd president. During his presidency‚ Bush faced many ground breaking decisions that would help mold the nation’s growth. One such issue was that regarding the use of government funds to support stem cell research (“George W. Bush”). Stem cell research has long been deemed a taboo subject. People’s opinions can vary greatly regarding the use of stem cells to further research. Former president‚ George

ARE STEM CELLS? Before I can explain the cons of stem cell research‚ I must explain what stem cells actually are. Stem cells are defined as essentially the beginning cells of a human being‚ which are capable of becoming all or many of the 210 different kinds of tissues in the human body. 1 These cells divide‚ generating two "daughter cells"‚ one of which will become something new and another which will replace the original cell. That is where the term "stem" comes from‚ meaning stem cells give

Embryonic stem cell research is a highly debated and sensitive topic. Such good can come from researching this technology because many people would benefit from it. In the following paragraphs‚ I will explain what embryonic stem cells are and why the United States should be utilizing this medical advancement. Further‚ I will point out the flaws in the arguments of those who are opposed to the use of these stem cells. The United States will soon fall behind other countries who will be using this

Due to recent discoveries‚ stem cell research will have many future medical possibilities. A recent stem cell breakthrough shows that cloning human organs or body parts to treat patients with injured organs or limb deficiencies could be possible. “The cloning techniques can also be used to grow organs for patients with a failing liver or kidney.” Because the newly cloned organ will be genetically identical to the one being replaced‚ rather than a donated one‚ the chances of it being rejected will

Embryonic Stem Cells for Research- Right or Wrong There have been a lot of controversies regarding the latest stem cell research in recent days. People have been publishing a lot about this issue and it is all over the media lately. It has aggregated some religious groups in the world and they have been very stern towards the issue. Here is my point of view regarding this issue: Unlike other cells in our body‚ each of which is specialized to perform a particular function‚ Stem cells are characterized
