Fetal tissue research

unethical for several reasons. Some recent unethical technologies include the use of fetal tissue for scientific studies, altering the genetics of humans, resurrecting extinct species, creating chimeras, and cloning. Scientists claim that the use of fetal tissue can develop treatments for common diseases such as: cancer, diabetes, birth defects, HIV, multiple sclerosis, ALS, and Alzheimer's. However, the fetal tissue used for these studies comes from abortions and abortions are unethical. It is shown

For nearly 100 years neural tissue has been transplanted in animals. Transplantation of neural tissue into humans, however, began only a few years ago (1). It has been found in animals, that fetal brain grafts in damaged adult host brains reduce some of the functional deficits caused by brain lesions. Even though some neurons from the transplanted tissue survive and develop reciprocal connections with host brain tissue, this is not enough to completely replace damaged fibers and support behavioral

Watts is mostly going to support Bradley’s argument that laws are implemented according to the needs and necessity for people so that healthcare is better. According to Bradley being the internal medicine physician knows that healthcare laws are important and patient’s should know them as well. He writes,“ the new regulation aims to educate… ‘take an active role in promoting open communication within the healthcare field [in order to foster] a more inclusive, tolerant environment (Bradley 257).

Introduction Stem cell research and engineering is a widely disputed topic that often divides people in science, ethics, and religion. In order to fully understand the controversy surrounding this area of scientific research and discovery, one must be informed as to what stem cells are. In the article, “Human Embryonic Stem Cells: Research, Ethics and Policy”, stem cells are described as “primitive cells with the capacity to divide and give rise to more identical stem cells or to specialize and

denominations has variant views on fetal tissue transplantation and ultimately it would be impossible to meet the demands of every religious ideology in such a spiritually diverse region and therefore, policies should be as objective and mindful of the views of the majority while not entirely ignoring and or being ignorant to the ethical and moral beliefs of the minority. With this being said however, the most important aspect when considering policies of fetal tissue transplantation, although most religions

been the question of Stem Cell research. Going down this path could yield unprecedented medical leaps in treatment and prevention that medicine will be able to offer. Before I address the debate of whether or not Stem Cell research should be done, I want to first explain to my readers what stem cells are, how they come to be and what we can use them for. We must first start with the different types of cells, I will explain them as I take you through part of the fetal development process. The first

Evolutionary Step in Medical Research by Summer Billings ENGC 1101 77 Freshman Composition Bradley Brothen 20 November 2014   Outline Thesis: The different types of stem cell research are a necessary medical advancement needed in our communities, regardless of its ethical controversies. I. Stem cell research has been around for almost 200 years, but the research done has only skimmed the possibilities that there is with stem cells. a) The discovery of stem cell research and some of its possibilities

One problem with adult stem cells is that the patient is the donor. While on the other hand Fetal stem cells have higher replicative potential and the pre-immune status of early fetal stem cells might be important in mismatched transplant situations. There are, of course, ethical issues associated with the collection and use of fetal tissues for stem cell research. Nevertheless, it can be argued that fetal stem cells are currently obtained

the topic of burial of the fetus because I believe that even though the fetus was never a “whole person” I still think it deserves proper burial or have the fetuses’ tissues be used for something good like organ donation or research for finding cures. There have been several videos and breaking news about people selling fetal tissues after an abortion although, some allegations may not be true Texas decided to take action before anything like that happened in the state. As of 2017, Texas is passing

Two Diseases, One Hope: Fetal Neural Transplantation in the Treatment of Parkinson's and Huntington's Disease Parkinson's Disease (PD) and Huntington's Disease (HD) are neurodegenerative diseases that are caused by malfunctions within the motor sector of the nervous system. These malfunctions, which are caused either by the surplus (as in HD) or absence (as in PD) of hormones, are a direct result of neural cell deterioration within the brain. PD and HD illustrate two very different behavioral
