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...

1,351 wordsStem Cells: Could this be the technology to cure cancer? By: Ali Right Stem cells could be the greatest medical advance in history in the sense that most of our serious diseases can be cured. Stem cells have the potential to morph into other cell types in the body. Serving as a sort of repair system for the body, they can theoretically divide without limit to replenish other cells as long as the person is living. During mitosis, each new cell has the potential to either remain a stem cell or bec...

The Promises Of Stem Cell Research
760 wordsFrom the monks practice of reincarnation to the Native American medicine man, civilization have searched for loop holes to cheat death and have gone to spontaneous measures to improve life. Modern day medicine has saved the life of thousands and given even more a healthier way of living. However, throughout the course of history, the practice of healing has taken a drastic change from a once religious threshold to a more scientific one. People hold more faith in a needle then they do in Allah, B...

Stem Cell Research Period Of Time
1,158 wordsOne of the most popular clinical studies being researched these days is stem cell transplantation. Until recently, moral issues of states and countries haven't allowed research to expound deeply into the unknowns. Within the last ten years though, scientists have made leaps and bounds in finding out concrete facts that this stem cell research has supplied. Tommy G. Thompson, Secretary of Health Services states, "I believe it will open up a world of opportunity for scientists, not only at the NIH...

Stem Cell Research Vitro Fertilization
1,113 words... the health of the mother can be proven (United 148 - 55). Many speculate that Roe v. Wade will be overturned within the next fifty years, and possibly sooner. The laws may be changed to allow abortions completely, or to forbid them completely. Stem cells will definitely play a part in this decision. It is possible that the action of using fetuses to save lives can make abortions seem less evil. To terminate one life to save others is a decision that the world must make, and not make lightly....

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...

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...

1,552 wordsConflict between Research and Ethics In United States, many governmental initiatives, regarding the development of science, are still affected by the considerations of public morality, which is based on obscure Christian dogma. One of the best examples of it is George W. Bush vetoing the bill, which would allow Federal financing for the stem cell research. The President believes that obtaining the genetic material for the research, from the dead embryos, is unethical. This is despite the fact th...

The Controversy On Stem Cell
669 wordsTHE CONTROVERSY ON THE STEM CELL Stem cell research is one of the most controversial ideas in modern society. There are those who believe that it holds out the promise to cure or relieve some of humanity's most terrible diseases. On the other side, there are those who insist that stem cells can only be collected by killing embryos by murder. How does one reconcile this issue? Are embryos regarded as a measure of the symbolic value for the human species? That is the contention of those against th...

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...
