Embryonic Stem Cell Research Editorial Embryonic stem cell research is a very controversial topic in science today. Many people believe that it is morally wrong; others believe that it is an obvious solution to stem cell therapies and cures for disease. I personally believe that the research of embryonic stem cells is a perfectly good answer to many medical issues within the human body. While it is understandable that some people believe it to be wrong or immoral‚ it needs to be recognized that

with natural human life‚ stem cell research is helpful and effective due to the various diseases it has the potential to cure and the reduced risk of transplantation after surgery. Stem cells are versatile cells that have potential to develop into specific cells. Everyone has stem cells‚ however‚ they are much more dominant in a fetus than in an adult body. Stem cells have potential to create all specific cells in the body and repair or replace damaged cells. Stem cell research is important in society

Stem cells are "blank" cells that have the potential to develop into any type of cell in the body -- nerve cells‚ heart cells‚ kidney cells. Scientists are trying to harvest the cells before they have differentiated‚ then coax them into becoming certain types. If they could grow cardiac cells‚ for instance‚ scientists one day might be able to replace damaged heart tissue in someone who has had a heart attack. By growing nerve cells they might be able to repair brain cells damaged by Alzheimer’s or

2012 Stem Cell Research: Medical Advantages Greatly debated‚ stem cell research is very controversial; especially embryonic stem cell research. Many debate over the ethics of the research versus the medical advantages. The medical advantages outweigh the ethical views. The mass of embryonic stem cells that are used come for in vitro fertilization (IVF) (Black). Those cells are disposed as medical waste—using them for research gives those cells a purpose and to be wasted (16). Embryonic stem cells

Stem Cell Research A twenty-two year old women just found out she had Stage IV Melanoma cancer. The doctors said there was little to no chances of her surviving‚ and there was nothing more they could do- unless an embryonic stem cell transplant was possible. Although some people may think otherwise‚ I believe that stem cell research on embryos should be continued because scientists will be able to find a safe solution to curing dangerous diseases‚ the research won’t be hurting anyone‚ and it could

Human stem cell research is a novel technology that will benefit society as a whole. This bold statement represents a current debate high on the ethical and political agendas across the globe. Although the potential benefits of using human stem cells in the treatment of diseases are vast and clear‚ their use remains controversial due to the public perception of their source and methods of extraction. However‚ it is undeniable stem cell research is key in the treatment and reversal of a range of medical

In 2001‚ the federal government authorized stem cell research. There has been much controversy revolving around this type of research‚ especially the embryonic stem cell. Do you agree or disagree with the stem cell research. Why? Up until recent years‚ research into stem cells was focused mainly on Embryonic Stem Cells‚ which involved taking tissue from an aborted embryo or fetus to get the most promising material for study. This was usually done only days after conception or between the fifth

embryonic stem cell research.” Sandy Adams here expresses that embryonic stem cell research is morally wrong and she would never fund such a case. The original (Adult) stem cell research originated in the 1800’s but the first embryonic stem cell did not begin until 1988. A Hamster was the first then in 1985 one was derived from a primate. This began the takeoff of embryonic stem cell research‚ throughout history there has been one main successful attempt. Dolly the sheep was cloned using human stem cells
