Bringing a baby into this world is one of God’s greatest creations. Babies should be born out of love from their mother and father. That is why so many people are against embryonic stem cell research‚ designer babies‚ and pre-implantation genetic diagnosis. These procedures go along with the concept of the novel and of how Anna was conceived by in vitro fertilization. They go against the catholic religion due to the fact that creating a baby in a petri dish defeats the whole purpose of natural conception

1. What do you think? What are pros and cons of stem cell research? Stem cell research has great potential to eliminate or treat many diseases that are chronic and do not have many treatment options. Using stem cell research can give people suffering from these new diseases a new chance at life. Diseases like Alzeimer’s‚ Parkinson’s‚ and even spinal cord injuries can benefit from this type of research as it improves the severity of the symptoms. This type of research can also help with transplants

ethics of stem cell research” Doctors‚ researchers‚ patients and virtually anyone interested in the future of medicine are intrigued by the key role human embryonic stem cell research could have in curing well-known diseases such as cancer. As much as people are curious about how it could advance medicine in incredible ways‚ there remains the issue of whether finding a cure using human embryos is ethically sound. The answer to this question is heavily dependent on what status society should accord to

Stem Cell Basics‚ an article published by the National Institute of Health‚ is an informative article on the basic information and the controversy that surrounds stem cell research. “Stem cell research is by far the biggest advancement in the field of medicine and many lives can be saved from its breakthroughs” says Dr. Goldstein of the National Institute of Health‚ with the purpose of convincing people that stem cell research must be legalized in the United States‚ since according to him‚ people

CELL THEORY – STEM CELLS Stem cells are a large focus of study in today’s biomedical world. “They are cells that exist in an undifferentiated state‚ and transform into differing tissue types depending on what the cells surrounding them are‚“ (National Institute of Health‚ 2012). Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth. In addition‚ they also serve as an internal repair mechanism inside many tissues‚ dividing without

Embryonic Stem Cell Research: How does it affect you? Embryonic stem cell research is widely controversial in the scientific world. Issues on the ethics of Embryonic Stem (ES) cell research have created pandemonium in our society. The different views on this subject are well researched and supportive. The facts presented have the capability to support or possibly change the public’s perspective. This case study is based on facts and concerns that much of the research done on embryonic stem

Stem Cell Research vs. Morality On October 4‚ 2004‚ with his wife by his side‚ actor Christopher Reeve died of heart failure because of complications due to a spinal cord injury. Christopher Reeve believed strongly in stem cell research‚ and he knew that one day he would walk again‚ but it was not to be. If it came down to saving the life of a loved one‚ would people consider morality‚ or would he or she go against their religious convictions or moral beliefs to save a

Sep. 21‚ 2014 Stem Cells Stem cells are the beginning of organism creation and have the potential to separate‚ becoming any kind of organism‚ endlessly. These cells have not gone through the process known as differentiation‚ which gives the cell a specific function. Technically‚ due to research over the recent years‚ scientists could grow certain organs with through stem cells because of the fact that these cells can be manipulated early on. There are multiple stem cells that have been determined

WHAT ARE STEM CELLS? Before I can explain the cons of stem cell research‚ I must explain what stem cells actually are. Stem cells are defined as essentially the beginning cells of a human being‚ which are capable of becoming all or many of the 210 different kinds of tissues in the human body. 1 These cells divide‚ generating two "daughter cells"‚ one of which will become something new and another which will replace the original cell. That is where the term "stem" comes from‚ meaning stem cells

Ethical Dilemma: Stem Cell Research “Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have a right to do and what is right to do.”- Potter Stewart One of the most controversial topics in today’s world is stem cell research. What are stem cells? Why is the debate about stem cells about ethics? Should stem cell research be allowed? What are the benefits of stem cell research? Stem cells are cells that have the potential to differentiate into a specialized cell such as liver cell. Scientists wish
