from funding “research in which a human emryo or embryos are destroyed‚ discarded‚ or knowingly subjected to risk of injury or death.” Despite the induction of the amendment‚ in 1998 James Thompson of the University of Wisconsin released information showing that he had used cells from human embryos‚ which were then discarded‚ to devise stem cells‚ cells that are the initial undeveloped form of all human cells and can therefore be used to replace any damaged‚ diseased or disabled cell.

Stem cells are primitive cells found in embryos‚ fetuses‚ and recently adults that can grow into 210 types of cells in the body. James A. Thomson‚ an embryologist at the University of Wisconsin‚ and John D. Gearhart of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine announced on Thursday‚ November 8 1998 that they and their colleagues had isolated the cell. Scientists have tried for years to find stem cells because of their great medical value. Diseases such as Diabetes‚ Bone Marrow Cancer‚ Chronic

Stem Cell Research Stem cell research has been happening for 30 or more years through bone marrow transplants‚ but has only been a major debate for about the past ten years with the first isolation of embryonic stem cells (UMichigan). According to a popular issues website the definition of stem cells is‚ "… contrasted with "differentiated" cells. They offer much hope for medical advancement because of their ability to grow into almost any kind of cell” (Pros and Cons…). One of the main debates

Stem Cell Research One of the numerous scientific topics that creates a great divide between Americans and political party platforms is the approval or disapproval of stem cell research. There is very firm support and opposition to this topic‚ and it can often provoke heated discussions amid the general public and those in academia. The core of the debate specifically revolves around embryonic stem cell research and the ethical implications that come with experimentation on human embryos. When

discovered the endless possibilities of the so called embryonic stem cells. It has been said that these cells have the ability to repair an entire tissue or even create a copy of it. It is also said to be a potential cure for innumerable serious diseases such as the Alzheimer and the Parkinson’s disease. This is why stem cell research should definitely be funded for the enormous impact it can make in the medical field. Stem cell research is perhaps one of the most controversial topics in modern day

Stem Cell Research Stem cell research is no longer a future unrealistic concept‚ it is here and having enormous impacts on the medical field. Stem cells are the primary cells that can be trained to develop into any human cell tissue such as muscle‚ skin‚ and brain. However‚ in embryonic stem cell research‚ to retrieve stem cells from embryos requires a process called therapeutic cloning where a person’s DNA is put into an unfertilized human egg (effectively cloning a person)‚ the embryo is then

benefits of stem cells Stem cell research is one of the most controversial topics in the United States. With millions of people having life altering diseases and disabilities‚ this research has the potential to save and give new life to these people. The potential to get rid of diseases such as Alzheimer‚ Parkinson’s‚spinal cord injury and many more is to great to pass up. Despite all the potential benefits of this research‚ it is met with great opposition. Morals and ethics always comes

Stem Cell Research Legislation For some time now‚ stem cell research has been a major issue when it comes to ethics. “Ethics‚ science and religion became further intertwined with politics in the 1990’s‚ increasing the battles among congress‚ administrations‚ and other agencies” (Scott‚ 2006‚ p.153). Stem cell research is probably one of the most important scientific advancements in the past one hundred years. Stem Cell research began in the 1800’s‚ with the discovery that some cells could actually
