What Are The Pros And Cons Of Stem Cell Research

Most people are against Embryonic Stem Cell research mainly because they consider it unethical to use aborted fetuses for research. The two main issues concerning the research are the ethics (Cons) and the benefits (Pros). In any scientific case, ethics must always be considered. But the use of fetuses is something that is of the utmost importance. The costs are generally measured based off of people’s feelings, morals, and knowledge about the subject up for debate. The use of aborted fetuses for stem cell research may have many positive outcomes that can come of it, but many negative outcomes as well; If using aborted fetuses for research can, in the near future, save lives, then it is a research that should be supported, even though some

If we were unable to research or experiment to better our society, we would not be anywhere near where we currently are in the medical world. The benefits of stem cell research really could push us that much more forward and get us that much closer to possibly finding cures for incurable diseases. This is a huge milestone for science and should continue to be researched. However, no matter the benefits stem cell research has and will remain an ethical debate for many years to come. We need to be able to open our mind to all the opportunities that stem cell research could generate instead of automatically jumping to conclusions regarding

It has been I long time scenes we have spoking I Hope all is well. The other day I was reading this articles on stem cell research and embryonic stem cell research, Stem cell and embryonic stem cell research has all ready stared to help many people out like Katie Sharify in 2010 she had been in a car crash that damaged her spine, leaving her with no sensation from the chest down. Days after she learned that she would never walk again. So Her medical team provided a crash course in stem cell therapy to help Katie think things through. In this case the team had taken stem cells obtained from a five-day old embryo and converted them into cells that support communication between the brain and body. Those cells would be transplanted into the injured

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.

A benefit of using embryonic stem cells is that researchers can start researching and learning new information about early human life and if they can detect birth defects early on according to Stanford University located in California. Stanford University is also hoping to study how to transfer cells into the body. They are going to recreate center cells, which also means differentiate them and they think they can cure diseases such as

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.

“At its core, this issue forces us to confront fundamental questions about the beginnings of life and the ends of science. It [stem cell research] lies at a difficult moral intersection, juxtaposing the need to protect life in all its phases with the prospect of saving and improving life in all its stages.” George W. Bush in his address at the Bush Ranch in Texas precisely captures the essence of the issues surrounding stem cells. “Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the capability of self replication as well as being able to give rise to diverse types of differentiated or specialized cell lines.” (Stien). Researching these cells can lead cures some of the most devastating ailments. Despite the research’s vast

For many years in the past, there has been a major controversy over the topic of stem cell research. It seems to be that the main controversy when it comes to the topic of stem cell research is an ethical debate, and because of this it seems that the side opposing stem cell research always wins due to their use of pathos when it comes to their argument. I personally do not side with those against the idea of stem cell research because I believe that the pros outweigh the cons when you break it down this way. Stem cell research could be the gateway to finding a cure or treatment for many of the major diseases out in the world today such as, cancer, heart disease, spinal cord injury, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, a possibly organ failure. Even though there are all these cures that could be found through stem cell research one thing is making it very hard to continue their work, and that is the lack of the funding needed to continue to make huge impacts on the lives of those around us.

I am going against stem cell because it say it cure injuries and diseases but why haven't have doctors usd this to cure diseases? There isn't any real proof that says that they cure diseases. Anti-abortion groups also oppose research on stem cells derived from aborted fetuses. They reject the argument that since abortion is already legal and women will have them, that stem cells should be used from aborted fetuses because they would otherwise go to waste.Experience is already showing how a tragic coarsening of consciences accompanies the assault on innocent human life in the womb.

After reading over the articles this week it is easy to find both pros in addition to cons with stem cell research. The key and most important pro is the fact that stem cells can be used to treat and hopefully cure many diseases including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s ( (Linda K, 2016) By harvesting unwanted blastocysts from couples undergoing in vitro fertilization doctors are having significant breakthroughs curing diseases ranging from cancer to heart disease ( ("Myths and Misconceptions About Stem Cell Research", 2016) This is especially important since there are hundreds of thousands of people waiting for organ transplants; there aren’t enough human parts to go around ( (Abc news, 2016) The downside to these medical breakthroughs is the fact that a maximum number of stem cells are coming from embryos, which no matter if they are grown in a lab or not are still human beings. The California Stem Cell Agency reports that all their stem cells come from the blastocysts of unwanted in vitro fertilizations and not abortions. ("Myths and Misconceptions About Stem Cell Research", 2016) This is promising because if the unwanted embryos are just going to be disposed of it would be good to use them to help people suffering from disease.

Due to this topic being so controversial, many people such as Senators, the media, and cartoonists have been voicing their opinions publicly. One such public opinion is a political cartoon created by Gary Varvel. A scientist is shown throwing embryos into an active volcano labeled "Stem Cell Research." Behind him are three barbarians carrying a platform filled with cans of human embryos exactly like the one the scientist is emptying into the volcano. The scientist is asking the barbarians, "What makes you think this is human sacrifice?" From the cartoon, one can determine that Gary Varvel is against stem cell research.

My opinion on this controversy is positive because I believe that there is more good being done than harm. My positive reasoning is due to when the stem cells are obtained from human embryos and fetuses, there is a potential to treat or cure diseases. On the other hand, I believe in having some guidelines and/or rules when dealing with this controversy such as the guidelines already developed and made laws.

One of theses days it can become very useful, and help us cure cancer and many diseases out there, that we haven't even discovered yet. Furthermore scientist will get a lot more jobs openings, and we will have more scientist to research on stem cells, where we can get information a lot quicker and faster. If we continue on researching stem cell, we can help/cure people who that are suffering from cancer or diseases. Yes, it may cause some deaths to humans, and none of us want that, but isn’t it better to sacrifice a few humans than hundreds and thousands of

I support stem cell research as a medical ethicist because we are saving lives after lives. With doing this research, we will learn more about each different disease and disorder. We are hoping to make a difference in people all people around the world lives. In Stem Cell Research we are

The pros of stem cell research can help find cures for many different medical problems, the research can help scientist move closer to finding these cures. The diseases the research can cure are Parkinson’s disease, Heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease and many others. Stem cell research can play a major role in the battle with cancer. There are always
