Stem Cell Research ,originally discovered in mice embryos in 1981 and later starting on human embryos and growing cells in labs in 1998, is a controversy having to do with research involving the development, use, and destruction of embryos. Although this may see m Ethically wrong, there are other methods of obtaining stem cells without the need for embryos. Stem Cell research can help us have a better understanding of human embryonic development as well as an even better understanding of almost all cell of the human body. The way this is done is in a extensive and lengthy process to get Pluripotent cell ( A cell able to make almost any type of cell in the human body ) and later change into the cells needed. …show more content…
In addition to treating diseases, it also helps with research in genetics and opens up a more broad understanding of it allowing us to genetically modify later generations.
Stem cells and certain areas of genetics go hand in hand, such as the creation of designer babies ( Babies that have been genetically modified to show specific traits that are wanted ), therapeutical pluripotent cell clones ( Cloning specifically for making more pluripotent cells for treatments ) , and reproductive clones ( Cloning using a created embryo and put into a surrogate mother ) , which are all still in development, but if perfected can essentially, get rid of disease and provide people with as many transplants needed in the not so distant
