Introduction There has been a race for a cure or treatment for human cells that have been destroyed or damaged. Every part of the human body should consist of cells specialized to work and function in their location, such as, the heart cells that make up and keep our heart working in its functioning form. With a lack of healthy cells the probability of diseases and conditions emerges. Stem cell research was introduced to combat these issues and was coined in 1908 by Alexander Maximow during a conference of a hematological society. Maximow hypothesized the existence of stem cells and went further on to discover that a precursor cell in the mesenchyme formed to become a variety of blood cells. The distinguishable discovery of the manipulative

It could lead humanity closer to better treatment and possibly cure a number of diseases such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, or a stroke and type 1 diabetes. It can also possibly help birth defects and spinal cord injuries. Stem cell research could also lead to replacing or repairing damaged organs. It would also help with reducing the risk of transplantations. Stem cells may even play a major role in treating cancer. The cons of stem cell research are mainly social opinions like “Scientist shouldn’t mess with human life” or “Humans should be trying to play god.” Usually one that has these opinions know very little knowledge of stem cell research but are very religious. Some argue that the research of stem cells can lead to the knowledge of cloning humans. It is hard to say whether this is true, but scientist have seen the devastating consequences of other research programs, even with good intentions, such as nuclear …show more content…
Bush, which allowed the derivation process (which begins with the destruction of the embryo) was initiated prior to 9:00 P.M. EDT on August 9, 2001. The stem cells must have been resultant from an embryo that was created for procreative purposes and was no longer needed. Knowledgeable consent must have been acquired for the donation of the embryo and that donation must not have involved financial inducements. It also revokes executive order 13435 which didn’t specify if whether or not it was ethnically ok to experiment on human embryos but wanted a law saying it wasn’t ok to experiment on them. It questioned the ethics of the experimentation on embryos in general but was preferred if the embryos were animal
