Embryonic stem cell research is a very controversial topic in today’s world. A stem cell is a premature cell that hasn’t “decided” what kind of cell to be. It will duplicate itself, and repair old or damaged tissue, which sparked the interest of scientists to research more into it. Stem cells have proved successful in being able to cure certain types of diseases such as leukemia, therefore, this type of cell proves very valuable. Today, I’m going to explain to you my views on embryonic stem cell research, and why I am very affiliated with Pro-Life.
First, I would like to explain that I’m not against Stem cell research at all. I think it is a wonderful program that has lots of possibilities. However, I am Pro-life, so I shouldn’t be okay with such research, right? Wrong. According to MD Anderson Cancer Center, You are able to

This blood remains in the Placenta and umbilical cord after the baby is born, and can be used to treat many diseases, including cancer.
It doesn’t stop at the cord blood either. Further research shows that stem cells can be obtained from neural tissue, fat, muscle, bone marrow, and skin cells. Bone marrow stem cells can also be turned into liver cells. I am confident that there is so much more to be found out with further research, rather than using an unborn human fetus.
Second, I would like to state that I am a Christian, and abortion goes against my belief system. I am a firm believer that God created everyone, and knew what would happen in their lives before they were even a fetus. For example, Psalm 139: 13-16 says, “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not

Embryonic stem cell research is a highly debated and sensitive topic. There is a lot of good that can come from researching this technology of stem cell research because many people all across the globe would benefit from it. The United States will soon fall short while other countries are already using this advancement if we cannot come to a logical conclusion on this vital issue.
These cells come from fetuses which is why stem cells are such a controversial issue. In order to actually use embryonic cells, they must be harvested from an unborn baby that is in the early stages of life. Embryonic cells have the ability to be all 220 types of tissues in the human body. “This makes them ideal for regenerating diseased heart tissue, repairing spinal cords, and replenishing brain cells”, Elizabeth Svoboda, an author in the publicized Popular Science magazine, illustrates in her article about stem cells (60). Embryonic cells have limitless possibilities in medical advancement. These cells can become whatever type of cell a doctor program them to be. With the use of embryonic stem cells, doctors can cure several diseases, as well as curing people who have suffered injuries, but research is being slowed down by the ethical dilemma of aborting a

Even though many people are unsure about stem cell use, research shows that stem cells are able to help people. Around 50,000 adult stem cell transplants happen around the world each year (“Rethinking Stem Cells” ). Imagine a world with no sickness or no cancer but also if that means killing embryos. If research keeps happening, stem cells may have the answers to many questions for great

Stem cells can also be used to repair damaged tissues in a process known as regenerative medicine.
A recent controversial topic in the past 15 years, has been on the research of Stem Cells and whether it’s ethically right or if it’s needed in our society to better global health. However stem research should in fact continue to be funded and supported because its benefits are a necessity for the future of human civilization and outweigh the other side of the argument on the issue.

That stem cells can replace damaged or diseased cells. It can help also help cure cancers, such as Alzheimer’s disease, parkinson’s disease, diabetes, heart disease, severe burns and many more illnesses and injuries and letting the body to heal itself. If you want to learn more about your body and curing cancer, we have to go through on the stem cell research they state. “Both embryonic and adult stems cells present immense research opportunities for potential therapy.” says the National institutes of Health. (Jews Views on Stem Cell research).
“Current research projects have attained stem cells from tissue which has been detached during terminated pregnancies or from
