Pros And Cons Of Stem Cells

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.

People will go against this. People will say that the stem cell research and any particular use of stem cells are wrong. Most people believe that 'embryonic' stem cells which are the main type of stem cells should be not be allowed to be used for research or any particular reason whether it is curing a disease or saving someone's life! Do you think this should be acceptable? Do you think people who believe that an embryo has the full 'potential' to become a human individual has still rights of whether or not it should be destroyed? No not really because it isn't a human yet. Embryonic stem cells can cure many diseases may be different illnesses to stem cells. Maybe embryonic stem cells have a specialty that they can be used to cure more efficiently and more diseases to stem cells but some believe that embryonic stem cell research is mostly wrong as stem cells extracted from an embryo is then destroyed which could be classed as murder. But why are Stem cells so controversial? The reason for this is that embryonic stem cells are more used more commonly than adult stem cells because embryonic stem cells have not yet specialised into a particular body part, which means they are diverse and can be used in any part of the body whereas adult stem cells have already specialised meaning they are more restricted in what they can be used for and scientists believe that embryonic stem cells would be more beneficial to the medical world. US citizens were surveyed

Many different groups of people protest stem cell research. Some protesters say that getting stem cells from embryos amounts to killing a person to improve the life of another (Freedman 18). People protest stem cell research even though the embryos and fetuses would be discarded anyway (Freedman 19). They think if it is accepted, they will start experimenting on people who are going to die, like death row inmates and terminally ill people (Freedman 22). Some supporters of stem cell research say that using tissue from dead embryos is equivalent to transplanting organs from people that died from homicide or suicide. They say stem cell experiments in animals have already shown improvements in disorders. Treatments for diseases and disorders can’t be developed if experiments aren’t performed.

It is a well known fact that millions of people suffer from accidents that leave them paralyzed for life. When stuck in a wheelchair forever, life can look very bleak. However, there is hope for these victims. Although it is controversial, stem cells offer the answer to not only broken spinal cords but to many other injuries.

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.

. However, embryonic stem cell research is also generally considered to have the greatest potential for delivering medical and scientific breakthroughs, since they are even more flexible (so to speak) and undifferentiated than adult stem cells (see Bongo and Richards).

Imagine if there was a way to cure juvenile diabetes and many other genetic diseases, well there could be a way using embryonic stem cells. The problem is that the stem cells are controversial, some say that scientists should not do research because the stem cells could potentially become a human child. However others believe that research should be done because, the stem cells do not have any psychological, physical, and emotional characteristics of a human yet (Lauren Joseph). Embryonic stem cells can be very versatile to cure genetic diseases and benefit us more than not using them at all.

Imagine an all-powerful miracle cure that could help treat devastating spinal injuries or eliminate the need for insulin injections. To some extent, one already exists. For years, researchers have been studying the miraculous potential of human embryonic stem cells. Human embryonic stem cells, also known as hESC, have the ability to develop into any kind of specialized cells in the human body, ranging from as simple as a skin cell to as complex as a neuron. This “miracle cure,” however, comes with a great cost; the stem cells have to be extracted from a human embryo, completely destroying it. Research institutions often obtain embryos either from abortion clinics or, most commonly, as a donation from a fertility clinic. Fertility clinics

The stem cell research is a very controversial topic. The topic ties into the the talk of abortion, it also has a lot to do with ethics, in all honesty it is not about abortion even tho that is basically what they are doing. In my opinion I do not think that it is a thing that should be done on the unborn, simply because their is no way to ask the baby if you can kill it to save people’s lives. The people who donate themselves to have stem cells taken from have an opinion on if they want to have this done to them or not. Stem cell when taken from babies can only be taken when they are first conceived which takes the process of their cells developing away. I do not think that it is the right thing to do in matters of trying to find a cure for

The use of embryonic stem cells has caused many debates because of the destruction of an embryo. It has also become a part of controversies in abortion, religious groups, politicians, and the public. People who are pro-life compare the destroying of an embryo to an abortion. They believe that the embryo is equal to life because it has full opportunity to become a human being. The people against embryonic stem cell use believe that it is immoral to destroy one life to save another. By using the stem cells then getting rid of the embryo, people against the research think that the embryos future life is being taken advantage of. Which can cause problems for future research studies that similarly “belittles” life, even though people find it wrong to use embryos for stem cell research, it is a good way to save

or not it is ethically acceptable to study stem cells and their capabilities to further knowledge. Those who deem studying stem cells ethical, focus on the benefits that they can provide for people with diseases such as cancer and those who have permanent injuries. Those whose opinion is in opposition to stem cell research, support their claim by pointing out how taking an embryo’s stem cells kills it. There are are different arguments supporting both sides.

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.”

While extremely helpful and innovative, stem cell research is seen as controversial and morally questionable. The main ethical dilemma behind stem cell research is that embryonic stem cells do come from aborted fetuses and many do not agree with abortion or the use of aborted cells and see this as morally wrong. Personally, I believe stem cell research should be used and supported due to all the benefits it could provide for human health and advancements in modern medicine. By utilizing and further exploring this research method, scientists could potentially find cures and treatments to diseases that are currently incurable and infecting the human population. Stem cell research would ultimately be helping people who are fatally ill and help

patients become greatly disappointing and disheartening and leads them to seek elsewhere. In a study that interviewed patients and their families after receiving stem cell therapies, one subject wrote, “The Chinese doctors are better than Canadian doctors, Canadian doctors are greedy, they work for the rich, but the Chinese doctors are happy to help, they are more responsible to their patients, and more professional” (Masters). Although whether a doctor decides on performing unproven therapies does not directly correlate with their skill, it does reflect on how they view their patients. Doctors who ensure treatment efficacy for their patient’s safety may be viewed as “greedy” or “unprofessional” for refusing care, but this viewpoint is a
