Pros And Cons Of Embryonic Stem Cell Research

People who have an idea on stem cell research think that the only way to get stem cells is by ending an embryo's life in the womb. “There are many alternatives to embryonic stem cell research, alternatives with great potential”(Istook 3). Researchers can also get embryonic stem cells from the placenta of a mother after an infant is born. These embryonic stem cells from the placenta are just as good as the ones from an aborted embryo. Researchers have also found new ways to create embryonic stem cells. These cells are called reprogrammed cells. They are adult, usually skin cells that scientists genetically reprogram to appear like embryonic stem cells (Federal Policy). Even though the technology to create these reprogrammed cells is very new and it is still not known whether they have the same potential as original embryonic cells, it is a very good start and gets researchers a step closer to realization. There is a difference between embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. That difference is that embryonic stem cells can become any type of cell and are unspecialized, while adult stem cells are already specialized or have a certain job. For example, adult red blood cells can only be used to treat blood diseases like anemia. Adult brain tissue stem cells can only be used to treat brain diseases like alzheimers, dementia, and parkinson’s

Imagine living in a world without cancer, Parkinson 's, or even diabetes. While everyone may wish this is true, people are against a way that researchers can make this possible, which would be by the use of stem cells. There is major controversy on whether or not stem cell research should be allowed, especially when it comes to embryonic stem cell research. Although many consider it to be killing a potential life form, embryonic stem cell research may eventually be acceptable to use because there is consent and a lengthy process to make sure the donor understands what their embryonic stem cells will be used for. That may be viewed as a much better

Stem cell research and use is good because it can cure over 56 diseases that could be deadly. Also it can replace damaged cells, it can even cure blind people's eyes. Then there is always a dna match so it will always work. Finally it is able to treat treatments faster that normal drugs and medicine such as parkinson disease.

stem cells were discovered a long ago that they can be beneficial for fighting against the killer diseases but after passing of two decades of the discovery it has been profound that (hESCs) are being tried as a treatment for two noteworthy illnesses: heart fail and type 1 diabetes.

Did you know that there are people who decides the fate of the future? Who gives human beings the right to play God? To decide who lives and who dies. There comes a time where we have to ask ourselves, how much of our lives will we let the government control? Embryonic stem cell research should be discontinued because our future is being decided by regular humans who make several mistakes.

Embryonic stem cells are undifferentiated cells from a human embryo which is the beginning development of a baby. Due to the cells being undifferentiated that gives researchers the opportunity to give them a function without problem. Unlike adult stem cells, which are differentiated, that doesn’t give as many opportunities because the area it came from for example a spine cell it has to be put in another spine or it can cause complications. But this is one of the most controversial topics in the science world today due to many not minding the use of embryos but others have religious reasons that say they aren’t allowed to use embryos.

If you had cancer or you know someone that did and you knew their like could be saved would you ? A development has been issued. Stem cell are a class of undifferentiated cells that are able to differentiate into specialized cell types.

Embryonic Stem Cells are the future of curing life threatening diseases. Research on Embryonic Stem Cells could be the future of medicine. If more funding and availability of embryonic stem cells was provided for research advancements could be made faster and more lives could be saved. Stem cells are cells that do not have a designated purpose when they are created. Stem cells are able to reproduce and divide for long periods of time. Stem cells can repair and regenerate organs and tissues in ways no other cells can. Embryonic stem cells are stem cells that come from embryos and have no designated purpose. Adult stem cells are stem cells that are produced in organs and tissues with a primary purpose of repair the organ or tissue it was

There are pros and cons to stem cell transplants. I believe the pros outweigh the cons in stem cell research and is very beneficial in the end. Stem cells provide potential for finding treatments and cures to diseases including different cancers, diabetes, spinal cord injuries, Alzheimer's, MS, Huntington's, Parkinson's and more. Embryonic stem cell research is one of the most controversial researches.Recently there has been a success with the research, “Professor Mats Brannstrom, carried out the first womb transplant in 2014 which allowed a Swedish woman to give birth to a healthy baby boy. Since then he has undertaken nine more procedures resulting in a total of five births.”

Another milestone in science has been reached: the discovery of stem cells in the 19th Century. Stem cells have the ability to divide for indefinite periods in culture and to give rise to specialized cells (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2009). According to the National Institutes of Health, embryonic stem cells derive from four to five day old embryos, also known as blastocyst, that have been fertilized in vitro and donated to research purposes with informed consent from the donors. Adult embryonic stem cells are found in differentiated cells in a tissue or organ. The main purpose of these cells is to repair the damaged tissue in which they are found. Since this discovery, there has been controversy over whether embryonic and adult stem cell research should be federally funded, and the ethics involved.

In the last 20 years, more than 20,000 patients have received stem cell transplants that have helped to treat leukemia. Researchers are using these transplant to help with many diseases. Despite what many people think, stem cell research can be very good. It is extremely helpful and beneficial to many people. This research is finding many cures and new medicine to cure diseases.

Many issues that have arisen with stem cells are mostly ethical. For many, the act of using human embryotic stem cells for research – no matter its age – is unsettling, but the solution that has risen for us is the possible development of an iPS cell to a human embryo; if this is ever completely the case then the main issues that have caused the halt of the research, and for it to be ethically/morally incorrect would be ridden.

Using embryos for research is referred to as embryonic stem cell research and it mainly focuses on stem cell lines (Hug, 2015). These cells have been taken out of human embryos which come from the inner mass of blastocyst (Kington, 2009). They have the ability to divide without differentiating for a long period of time when cultured and are also known to grow into cells and tissues that form the three primary germ layers (Kington, 2009). The resulting research and their uses are the topic of consequentialism debate concerning both intrinsic and extrinsic values. The consequences of their use include the destruction of the embryos and therapeutic cloning (Hug, 2015). Although their use can have devastating results, there are some positives to

Stem cell research has become an important part of medical research in the past few years. Embryonic stem cell research is controversial because of the blurred lines in the moral viewpoints of many people. These embryonic stem cells are pure and are easily manipulated to fit any type of cell needed. This is useful in the testing of new drugs and treatments of permanent or incurable diseases such as ALS and MS. Adult stem cells are also useful in research, but they are already specialized which makes them only useful for the type of cell they come from.

Much of human existence has revolved around optimal health which was vital for a productive life. That same ideal is still a big part of life today. Humans are becoming healthier, generation after generation, as new medical discoveries increase. Resulting in a rise in life expectancy. Stem cell research, still in its infancy, strives toward the betterment and prolonging of human life. The potential of stem cells to help in the advancement health makes them incredibly beneficial to the human race. Sounds like a great idea, right? Then why do stem cell debates create so much controversy? There is a dispute over the ethics of stem cell research and from my understanding many people on different sides of the issue are not educated on all aspects
