debated whether embryonic stem cell research is necessary to human life. The heated topic has many pros and cons on each side. I believe that embryonic stem cell research could be beneficial if used for the right reasons and by the right people. Some say that the research will conflict with ethical‚ moral‚ and political views. Stem cells are nonspecialized cells that can create other types of specific cells. These cells serve as a repair system inside of many tissues. The cells divide with no limit as

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

adult stem cell research? The capability to revert blindness‚ cure diabetes‚ let paralyzed people walk again‚ replace deficient organs with newly grown ones and cure blood diseases are a few of the many potential functions of stem cells. A stem cell is an unspecialized cell that can develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth it also has the ability to divide essentially without limit. Unlike mature cells‚ which permanently have the same function‚ stem cells

Frankenstein and stem cell research have in common? The concept of renewing life. Stem cells are a class of cells that are completely variable and can take the shape of virtually any type of cell. The medical applications of stem cells are potentially limitless‚ and are already in use to cure a fair amount of diseases. Stem cells have their miracle healing abilities‚ and in Frankenstein‚ the scientist figures out a way to bring the dead back to life with science. This “renewal of life” is poetic and

Stem Cell Research Stem cell research has always been a controversial subject and will always be debated. The idea of taking a stem cell out of a baby that has not been born yet‚ and put in somebody else to save their life seems morally wrong to some people. Other people us playing god and altering his work to perfect our selves. But there are people that look at it and say is it both a miracle of science and see the future brighter than they did because of it. Stem cell research was started in

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)

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 the life of many

Should Embryonic Stem-Cell Research Be Banned? In recent times‚ there is a great deal of controversy surrounding stem-cell research. Some say that it will contribute substantially in curing diseases like cancer‚ Parkinson’s‚ Lou-Gehrig’s‚ etc while others claim that it violates the ethical and moral norms and principles of the society. Bills promoting stem-cell research have been vetoed several times‚ making it a political issue as well. However‚ stem-cell research should not be banned because

Introduction 1.1 Background of the Issue In recent years‚ the phrase ’stem cells’ has become a popular and widely published scientific topic. Debate and discussions about stem cells are everywhere‚ including magazines‚ television‚ etc. Basically‚ stem cells are a class of undifferentiated cells that are able to differentiate into specialized cell types. Commonly‚ stem cells come from two main sources: embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells (Crosta‚ 2008). 1.2 Current Situation Rates of chronic disease
