After reading the “‘Bubble baby’ stem cell” paper I have come to the conclusion that stem cell research is an excellent thing. The reason why I think that is if we never do research and create a cure for “Bubble baby disease” then we will continue to lose babies. But‚ if we risk a few lives of babies for research in the long run it will save millions if not billions of lives. In this essay I will give three reasons on why I think stem cell research is a great thing. “Bubble baby disease.” In my

Essay: Why Is Stem Cell Research so Controversial? In 2001‚ President George W. Bush cut funding for research on stem cell obtained from human embryos because it is technology that requires the destruction of human life "My position on this issue is shaped by deeply held beliefs. I also believe human life is a sacred gift from our creator" (Bush‚ George W.‚ Crawford‚ Texas‚ Thursday‚ August 9‚ 2001. Stem cell research speech.) His policy restricted the government funding of stem cells. These are utility

English Section 1 Stem Cell Research Term Paper Stem Cells are undifferentiated cells. This means that they can divide and multiply before given a specialized job in the body such as bone cells or skin cells. There are embryonic stem cells‚ which come from developing embryos‚ somatic stem cells‚ which come from adults‚ and umbilical stem cells‚ which come from the umbilical blood. (Stem Cell Basics‚ 2) Although each of these stem cells can all be used to treat a variety of different diseases

The embryonic stem cells‚ which are pluripotent cells that are derived from the inner cell mass of the pre-implantation embryo at the blastocyst stage. They are considered as an important finding as they have the potential of self-renewal and differentiate indefinitely into the three germ layers‚ the endoderm‚ mesoderm and the ectoderm. The human embryonic stem cells were considered to be useful in clinical applications‚ as they have the potential to be used in cell therapies on diseases like Parkinson’s

Stem cell research could be a scientific miracle‚ or it could be an unethical disaster. This debate between medical science and ethical judgment has been going on for years‚ and has recently become a major topic. Not too long ago‚ the stem cell research funding was cut off by President Bush. He explained his actions by stating‚ "If this bill would have become law‚ American taxpayers would‚ for the first time in our history‚ be compelled to fund the deliberate destruction of human embryos. And I’m

Stem cell research represents a new opportunity for ethical thought and debate. Stem cells are primitive cells which have yet to specialize. Through proper coaxing‚ stem cells can be made to differentiate into usable body cells and eventually used for medical treatment. Though stem cell technology has been in development since the 1960’s‚ it was not until August of 2001‚ when then-president George W. Bush announced that federal funds could be allotted to embryonic stem cell research‚ that the

Stem Cell Research Stem cells have the ability to mold themselves into many different types of cells with specific attributes. Stem cells are basically cells that have not been placed into a specific categorized function. Stem cells have so far proved to provide treatment to various illnesses‚ such as cancer‚ multiple sclerosis‚ arthritis‚ Lou Gehrig’s disease‚ etc. So why is it not in blatant medical use today? Well‚ mainly because stem cells are noted as an act against God. The US government
