The topic of embryonic stem cells is one of large controversy. There are many different reasoning’s for people possessing different opinions including religion‚ medical based arguments‚ and the personal belief of when life begins. These factors play a huge role behind whether or not a person supports the harvesting and transplantation of embryonic stem cells. Although many disagree‚ I believe that stem cell research is beneficial to human-kind. Throughout the years‚ stem cells have been used to treat

Stem cells are cells that are capable of generating specialized cells for specific areas of the human body. There are two different categories of stem cells. They are the adult or somatic stem cells and the embryonic stem cells. The embryonic stem cell is spawned when a recently fertilized egg divides‚ which is then capable of becoming any cell in the human body. The embryonic cells are vital because unlike the adult stem cells‚ embryonic cells have the ability to spawn every type of cell that

Totipotent stem cells are the most versatile type‚ these can divide into cells that will generate all the cells that will make up the embryo; these totipotent cells

The issue of stem cells is currently the dominant subject in the debate of biotechnology and human genetics: Should embryonic or adult stem cells be used for potential medical therapies? Stem cells are an undifferentiated cluster of cells which‚ depending on their surrounding conditions‚ are capable of developing into other types of cells (Perry 20). The expression "stem cell" refers to a type of cell that not only produces various types of additional cells‚ but also has the ability to replicate

Stem cell research is often at the forefront of heated ethical debates due to its assessment of human life. If stem cell research cannot be ethically defended‚ then it should not be conducted. “You cannot defend a study ethically unless the presumed cost is lower than expected benefits. The cost-benefit analysis of scientific research needs to include human/animal discomfort/risks‚ environmental issues‚ material costs‚ etc” which is necessary to support the positive outcome which the research claims

ethics behind stem cell research. Stem cell research has become a huge controversy over the years because of it’s conflicting perspectives. The debate surrounding stem cell research is one of scientific evolution and moral judgement. The purpose of stem cell research is the safe clinical application of the transplantation therapy but the moral dilemma is what stunts the research. The Benefits Of Stem Cell Research Stem cell research can further develop therapy for those in need. Stem cells are undifferentiated

These children are called embryos and they are being killed everyday. This experiment or research is used for embryonic stem cell research. It is morally wrong and should not be continued. Embryos grow into fetus which then grows into a baby. Life begins when an embryo is fertilized. If human life begins at fertilization then disassembling embryos is killing human life
