In almost all fields of new research‚ scientists seeking to gain new knowledge encounter inadequate funding. Whether the money is needed new lab equipment or field research or other such projects‚ sufficient funding is almost always unattainable. Because so little is known about this new field of

Embryonic VS Adult Stem Cell Research Stem cell research just by saying its name creates an uneasy feeling because it is such a controversial topic. There are many ethical and moral issues that make people uneasy because they can’t decided whether they should side with the more ethical side of this research‚ adult stem cell‚ or the more well known‚ embryonic stem cell. This ethical issue between the two research categories gives rise to another issue that isn’t usually discussed. This issue is

kill‚ stem cells may be the greatest advancement of human science and medicine; but they also may become the greatest failure. There are those who would do anything to advance stem cell research and unlock their potentially enlightening secrets; however‚ there are also those who would go to any means to halt and destroy progress‚ mentioning words such as “ethics‚” “morals‚” and “God.” But what critics don’t understand are the potential benefits‚ as well as new‚ “ethical” sources‚ of stem cells.

Are stem cells important to medical research? The most basic cells in the human body are stem cells and people are formed from stem cells. Stem cells are an important part of human medical research‚ and they help with specific medical treatments. However‚ with all the good from stem cells‚ controversy surrounds the methods employed to obtain stem cells. Even with all the controversy‚ stem cells are useful. Stem cells are the most basic‚ but useful cells in the human body. They are the building

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)

because of the embryonic stem cell research. Embryonic stem cell research came from identical inner mass cells of a human embryo. Embryonic cells are able to grow into all derivatives of these primary germ layers ectoderm‚ endoderm‚ and mesoderm. Embryonic stem cell research would be a good thing for humans because human embryos for stem cell research can help a number of patients‚ they can be used by scientists to find cure for several medical conditions‚ and the stem cell research may be a treatment

Many people have not been fully informed on the topic of human pluripotent stem cell research. Most American have heard a lot on one side‚ and very little on the other. Hence‚ they have not and can not fully evaluate the facts and can only give snap decisions‚ according to religioustolerance.com. Having heard extensive lectures on both sides‚ I believe that embryonic stem cell research shows great promise in bettering the medical and scientific community. I agree with the American Association for

Sickle cell disease and the hope of stem cell therapies; ethics in the treatment sickle cell. The past half century has been an era of rapid discoveries: from the humble beginnings of molecular biology‚ discovery of the structure of DNA‚ research on recombinant DNA‚ the discovery of the human embryonic stem cell (ESC)‚ the completion of the Human Genome Projects‚ mammalian cloning and the discovery of ntESCs (nuclear transfer ESCs) by somatic cell nuclear transfer and the ethical sigh of relief

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

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
