Introduction Human embryonic stem cells (hES cells) are currently discussed not only by the biologists by whom they were discovered but also by the medical profession‚ media‚ ethicists‚ governments and politicians. There are several reasons for this. On the one hand‚ these ‘super cells’ have a major clinical potential in tissue repair‚ with their proponents believing that they represent the future relief or cure of a wide range of common disabilities; replacement of defective cells in a patient by transplantation

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

comes great dispute. Society has said and written many things about stem cell research‚ nevertheless‚ there are a number of biologic inaccuracies that generate a tough decision for countless people. The difficulty and drama regarding these cells has increased and become a big political debate‚ weather anindividual is pro life or pro choice. Is it even promising for us to protect the "purity of life" and still be able to use these cells to help those living among us? Granting we are able to experiment

Stem Cells: The Lethal Lifesaver Stem Cells are the first cells that begin a human life‚ but some people have a problem with using them because of where they come from. So‚ the question is which is more important‚ the death of embryos or the saving of lives? Stem cells are the cells that can be whatever they need to‚ depending on what is needed. The Webster dictionary defines a stem cell as “An unspecialized cell that gives rise to differentiated cells.”. These cells have the potential to save thousands

What are stem cells? Stem cells are found in many places in the body. They are important because they can divide to make copies of themselves. They can also develop into different types of cells‚ for example skin‚ blood‚ brain and bone. Why is stem cell research important for Parkinson’s? There is currently no known cure for Parkinson’s. While medicines can help to manage the symptoms‚ they may only be effective for a certain period of time before side effects develop.2 Brain surgery can offer

wrong‚ moral and immoral‚ “good” and “evil” are apparent in the greatest religious‚ political‚ and scientific debate of all time. There has not been a topic so contested‚ so controversial since the days of Darwin and his “evolutionary” theory. With the intent to save but the power to kill‚ stem cells may be the greatest advancement of human science and medicine; but they also may become the greatest failure. There are those who would do anything to advance stem cell research and unlock their potentially
