Why is it that some people don’t appreciate what they have until they lose it? To have the ability to use your arms, legs or even brain are unappreciated until a person loses that ability. Despite the fact that, what if there is a way to restore those parts of the body, including deadly illnesses. What would you do then?
In this essay, I will try to persuade you into supporting stem cell research. I’ll do so by explaining the benefits of this research that treat the lives of the individuals with a disability or a disease.
The majority of us know or will know someone who is suffering in life because they have a failing organ, cancer or a disability, or any disease. For example, multiple sclerosis is a serious disease that targets the brain …show more content…
For in order for scientists to collect stem cells to study they must obtain them by destroying and collecting the cells in the embryos. For some individuals could say is the same as destroying a form of life. However, there are alternatives to collecting stem cells. That alternative is known as adult stem cells and can be acquired from blood, fat as well as the marrow that is located in the bone of individuals. With this alternative, no form of life has to be destroyed in order to save another person’s life (International Society for Stem Cell Research, 2013). Stem Cells and their potential
Stem cells are defined as unspecialized cells, which according to the International Society for Stem Cell Research (2013) they stated, “Stem cells are the foundation cells for every organ and tissue in our bodies” Meaning they are the basic building blocks for everything that is associated to the body.
According to Dr. Shahin Rafii (2014) he states, “The potential for stem cells is tremendous: If someone has a heart attack and major scar tissue, we can use stem cells to regenerate the heart” (Rafii, Weill Cornell Medical College, 2014). For stem cells can be used to replace damaged organs, nerves as well as cure diseases that were known to be incurable.
Transition: So now that we know of the potential of stem cells, let’s move on to how stem cells can lead to advances in the medical …show more content…
