The world of medicine will be revolutionized by stem cell research. This revolution could bring about utter disaster or life changing miracles; it all lies in the hands of humans. Stem cell research is believed to have potential that can give rise to medical breakthroughs by answering the daunting questions that illnesses and disease bring. Yet‚ with all of the static that stem cell research can create these predictions are just that‚ and stem cell research could possibly cause more harm than good

Stem Cells: Future of Failure? When does a sperm and egg begin to resemble what we call a fetus? Research has shown that at four weeks‚ the embryo is the size of an seasame seed (New Health Advisor). The cells that make up this sesame seed could be the future of regenerative medicine. Stem cells are the cells made during the process of fertilization. They are the first traces of humans‚ making them basically a blank slate for all types of cells. They can become essentially any type of cell in the

Suddenly‚ stem cells are everywhere. Once relegated to the depths of esoteric health journals‚ the microscopic clusters have made their way to the nation�s front pages. The complexity and drama surrounding these relatively simple cells has increased due a ticking clock: By the end of the month‚ President Bush is scheduled to decide whether to continue federal funding for stem cell research. The question of using stem cells for research is intrinsically scientific‚ and yet has become the political

Stem Cell Research Stem cell research is no longer a future unrealistic concept‚ it is here and having enormous impacts on the medical field. Stem cells are the primary cells that can be trained to develop into any human cell tissue such as muscle‚ skin‚ and brain. However‚ in embryonic stem cell research‚ to retrieve stem cells from embryos requires a process called therapeutic cloning where a person’s DNA is put into an unfertilized human egg (effectively cloning a person)‚ the embryo is then

Stem Cell Research One of the numerous scientific topics that creates a great divide between Americans and political party platforms is the approval or disapproval of stem cell research. There is very firm support and opposition to this topic‚ and it can often provoke heated discussions amid the general public and those in academia. The core of the debate specifically revolves around embryonic stem cell research and the ethical implications that come with experimentation on human embryos. When

about the circulatory system and the blood that runs through it‚ the use of blood transfusions have steadily declined. As a result transfusion alternatives have steadily increased. Through out this progression of knowledge such debates have come up‚ such as religious and ethical questions regarding transfusions of blood and blood fractions. There are also arguments regarding whose choice it should be to refuse a medical treatment‚ much less the transfusion of blood. At times some doctors will not go

it might be true in a sense. It’s not true though. Granted‚ there are certainly enough people claiming to have divine revelation when God hasn’t spoken. And it’s true that the problem of false prophets‚ false apostles‚ and false teachers is a major theme in the Bible. Yet the benefit of true prophets‚ true apostles‚ and true teachers is also a major theme in the Bible. And a favorite tactic of false prophets‚ false apostles‚ and false teachers is to accuse the true ones of being false. And we must

Stem Cell Research Stem cell research has been happening for 30 or more years through bone marrow transplants‚ but has only been a major debate for about the past ten years with the first isolation of embryonic stem cells (UMichigan). According to a popular issues website the definition of stem cells is‚ "… contrasted with "differentiated" cells. They offer much hope for medical advancement because of their ability to grow into almost any kind of cell” (Pros and Cons…). One of the main debates
