Other examples include the generation of lice from sweat, mice from dirty hay and/or corn, and the list goes on. Many people used to believe in the theory of ‘Spontaneous generation’ because it explained such occurrences as the appearance of maggots on decaying meat. Spontaneous generation is the incorrect hypothesis that non-living things are capable of producing …show more content…
Stem cells
a. What is different about a stem cell and a ‘normal’ human cell?
THE DIFFERENCE
Simply, the difference between stem cells and “normal’ human cells is the fact that ‘normal’ cells have a specific purpose and they can only do that job. However, stem cells have the potential to become anything. Stem cells are the cells that can develop into other types of cells, therefore, bodily repair, is what they can/are used for.
b. Why are scientists excited about using stem cells?
STEM CELLS
c. Should scientist be allowed to continue research into stem cells and their uses?
SHOULD THEY CONTINUE?
d. There are many needs for our community. Should we be spending limited money on scientific studies or should we spend the money on other needs?
WHAT SHOULD THE MONEY BE SPENT ON?
Well in different circumstances I believe that I would have different answers.

Then I believe that my answer would be on ‘other needs’ because in those circumstances I believe that fixing the problems we already have are more important than discovering new ones. If say, the scientific studies were about curing a disease, specifically, and the ‘other needs’ were fixing roads, I would most definitely say that we should be spending the money on scientific
