One of the recent biomedical research is “Human Stem Cell” from which all 210 different kinds of tissue in the human body originate(the Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity‚ 94). Additionally‚ UNESCO states that separating some inner cell mass from the embryo at the blastocyst stage‚ they can be cultured to produce pluripotent stem cells‚ capable of developing into blood ‚ muscle‚ or many other kinds of tissues and organs of the body (13). Thus‚ at first “Stem Cell” may sound

Ethics Behind Stem Cell Research. Is Stem Cell Research ethical? Yes‚ it is. An embryo which is four or five days old‚ from which stem cells are derived‚ is not a human being yet‚ because it’s brain is nonfunctional and it’s heart is not beating. So destroying it would not be murder‚ it’s just a beginning of a long process of obtaining stem cells from it.

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

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

One of the most controversial debates in recent history has been the human embryonic stem cell debate. Millions and millions of embryos are not used each year when they could very well lead to a cure for fatal diseases such as leukemia and cancer. As well as become a cure for neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Human embryonic stem cell research has enormous potential to cure many diseases and change the face of modern medicine. However‚ there is much debate

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 stem cells are stem cells that come from inner mass cells of a human embryo that are undifferentiated. They are a new and innovative way to help people of society‚ and with all innovative ideas comes controversy. Some people believe that embryonic stem cells should not be researched or toyed with‚ while others are all for it. Embryonic stem cell research is a positive thing that can enhance the world in several ways. It can boost the economy‚ save the lives of many people‚ and not offend

What does Mary Shelley’s novel 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
