All scientists must consider whether the positive effects from their research are likely to be significantly higher than the negative effects. What are Stem Cells? Stem Cells are crucial to develop
Stem cell research has caused enormous controversy because of its ethical and moral values. Stem cells are pluripotent cells present in all living organisms. These cells can differentiate into any type of cell, including blood cells, nerves, cardiac muscle, and pancreatic cells. Stem cell research has revealed the possibilities of these undifferentiated cells being used to treat horrible conditions such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s Diseases, spinal cord injuries, diabetes, cancer, and severely damaged
Embryonic Stem Cell Research are pluripotent stem cells derived from the inner cell mass of a blastocyst. I believe that the use of Embryonic Stem Research is beneficial to society because these cells have unlimited potential. They can allow permanent repair to failing organs by injecting healthy cells into the damaged organ. They also can used for finding and preventing cures for cancers, Parkinson’s disease, birth defects, spinal cord injuries, and strokes. However, Stem Cell Research is a controversial
I am interested in the controversial topic of embryonic stem cell research. It is an interest of mine because I have a strong like for biology, and in my AP biology class we learned about the pros and cons on this topic and it intrigued me. My question for writing projects three and four is; should embryonic stem cell research be allowed? Throughout my essay I will be describing both sides of this controversy and explaining my opinion on it. This is the main controversial topic in biology, many
Pros of stem cell research is the fact that it can cure diseases, and possibly provide a cure for some cancers. The cons of the therapy is that it takes a life to do it. I’m against it. This is why. I’m prolife and not matter what we have to protect an embryo. I know that using stem cells work, but why take one life for another? I believe life begins at conception and that’s what I will try to protect with my actions, words and vote. I hope I’m never put in the situation
believe they found a cure. Stem cell research is a very controversial issue everywhere. Stem cells are found in fetal tissues and can turn into any type of cell known in the body. If you had a friend who was paralyzed, or a relative with Alzheimer's, wouldn't you want them to be magically healed? Many scientists believe they found a cure. Stem cell research is a very controversial issue everywhere. Stem cells are found in fetal tissues and can turn into any type of cell known in the body. If you had
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. According to embryonic stem cell therapy ‘morally unacceptable’ it states “ An estimated 56 diseases have been treated with the use of adult, human stem cells.” This supports
Stem Cell Controversy What are stem cells? Stem cells are neutral cells that can form into a different kind of cell depending on where they are in the body. For example, if they were in the brain they would become brain cells, liver into liver cells, red blood cells into more red blood cells, and so forth. Embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells are the two main sources from which stem cells come. Adult stem cells or somatic stem cells are found throughout the body in different types
). To opponents, stem cells are harvested to make tissues and organs for others from embryos farm just like corn when it is harvested, collected and shipped. To opponents, embryonic stem cells research is like the selective breeding of people that resulted from the ethical slippery slope of the human eugenics. To opponents, women’ eggs are used as factories and human embryos are used as raw materials. On the other hand, to proponents, stem cells are the stringent component for repairing the engine
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
