Stem Cell Research Bioethics Advisory Commission
1,515 wordsShould Embryo Stem Cell Research Be Banned? This is one of the most controversial questions posed in the last century. The issue is simple. Should the federal government fund embryo stem cell research? The answer is extremely complex. At the heart of this controversy, is whether or not, it is morally ethical to use stem cells derived from human embryos to possibly discover the cure and treatment for many diseases such as Diabetes, Stroke, Cancer, Parkinsons disease, and Alzheimers, to name just ...

Embryonic Stem Cells Adult Stem Cells
894 wordsStem cells look to be nothing more than a hollow sphere composed of a clump of tiny, roundish balls. In reality, they are much more than that. Those 40 cells contain all the potential to become a living, breathing human being. Many scientists believe that these cells also have the potential to cure a myriad of diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, and many others. The cells of the four day old human embryo can be programmed to become virtually any cell in the bo...

Embryonic Stem Cells Blood Sugar Levels
1,188 wordsIntroduction Type 1 Diabetes mellitus, formerly known as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus is a disease that is defied as a metabolism disorder. It affects about 5 - 10 % of the diabetic population estimating to about 4. 9 people worldwide. In this type of diabetes, the onset of elevated blood sugar levels usually begin abruptly in a fairly dramatic way before the age of 30 and about half of all the cases appear during childhood. The cause of diabetes type 1 is an autoimmune destruction in whi...

No significant difference in insulin concentration was observed when incubation's were carried out at 5. 5 -mmol / l medium glucose concentration (15816 gU/ml, gU/ml, n = 6) or at a 25 -mmol / l ambient medium glucose concentration (146. 2 bn 22. 1 gU/ml, n = 6). (Assay et. al. , 2001) Method 2: As a result of their ability to differentiate into many different cell types, one can dissect the complex network of transcription factor genes regulating tissue-specifi...

These commentators argue, therefore, that making use of artificially created embryos for research would not result in the destruction of a greater portion of those embryos than might have died in natural unassisted reproduction... Moreover, they suggest, the high rate of natural embryo loss should bring into question the views of those who believe that early stage human embryos merit equal treatment with human children and adults. If so many die in the nat...

Stem Cells The Miracle Cure
1,112 words... are stem cells not derived from an embryo, and thus not even flawed arguments can be made against them. The most common adult stem cell is the blood stem cell. Trigg, a medical doctor involved in doing the research, has termed these hematopoietic stem cells. These stem cells are found in the bone marrow and spleen, and are normally used in the germination of new blood cells, both red and white. Red cells are used in the distribution of food, oxygen, and waste throughout the body. White blood...

Embryonic Stem Cells Stem Cell Research
1,323 wordsThere are many controversies over whether stem cells should be studied, but before I discuss that topic lets discuss what a stem cell actually is. Stem cells are cells that can basically form into any type of cell, they are found in bone marrow, embryos, fetuses, and blood from the umbilical cord. Early in development, a human embryo is made up of a hollow ball of cells called a "blastocyst." Blastocyst cells divide and eventually develop into all of the tissues and organs of a human being, a pr...

Every person has a right to choose so let them if you are faced with a disease and need a transplant and the Doctor tells you he could get you a new organ but it was created from stem cells or you could wait on a list for a donor which would you choose? On November 27, 2004 Swiss voters backed the 2003 proposal of stem cell rese...

Embryonic Stem Cells Stem Cell Research
1,813 wordsThe Stem Cell Dilemma Every day, nearly 3, 000 people die while waiting for an organ transplant (D'Agnese). Moreover, 66, 000 people are still on an organ donor list in the United States, few of which will ever see their name come up on that list ("Improving"). Many people believe nothing can be done about this sad fact. However, this is not the case. Studies on stem-cell research point toward a solution to this deadly problem. With efficient use of stem cells, many diseases and medical problems...

Federal Funding For Stem Cell Research
2,118 wordsFederal Funding for Stem Cell Research The research of stem cells was started not so long ago, in 1998, when Dr. James A. Thomson, a biologist at the University of Wisconsin, Madison made his discovery of stem cells possibilities. As stem cells can develop into actually any kind of human cells, from skin cells to blood cells, that is they can produce any cells for various organs of human body, heart, brain or liver tissue etc, this discovery offers great hope for disease treatment and new ways o...

2,196 wordsEthics Moral Position Description Stem Cell Research contributes greatly to our understanding of human biology. However, it is not possible for one to predict the outcome from basic research. Still, the studies will offer some possibilities for treatments and for cures for many diseases in which therapy will not work. I feel that stem cell research is necessary to have in order to discover cures and medicine for known and unknown diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, diabetes, heart disease...

Stem Cell Research Adult Stem Cells
936 wordsHUMAN CLONING The American public has been a haven of open scientific inquiry and it has always been a factor in creating globally accepted innovations in biotechnology and medicine. As the country is beset by several debilitating diseases such as cancer, Alzheimers disease, Parkinsons disease and diabetes, the medical community struggles to find a solution for these chronic and fatal diseases as each day goes by. Ironically, the potential solution in which they have stumbled upon is contested. ...
