Thanks to new advances in technology, adult stem cells can be mass produced in the lab both organically and synthetically. When found in bone marrow, adult stem cells are known to have slight regenerative properties (Kahn). As more and more of the stem cells are created, the number of trials that can occur multiply exponentially. The regenerative properties are isolated and enhanced to grow more of the specific kind of cell (Kahn). With the help of specialized cell growth, mass amounts of organ tissue and other treatments can be made. This technology is leading scientists towards being able to make cures for the general public without using any embryonic stem cells. As the growth of adult stem cells becomes more abundant, the need for hESC

Embryonic stem cells can produce cell lines that can extend for many years, reducing the need to harvest new cells. Researcher Bryan Thomas Davies has written, “In 2000, stem cell science had advanced to the point at which cells within the early embryo inner cell mass were isolated, and embryonic stem cell lines constructed. From this development, the next wave of research confirmed the power of pluripotent stem cells from any source to produce desired cells in other organs or tissues.” With less and less embryos being needed to use in medical findings, the less people who classify as Pro-Life would have to oppose the use. Once a sample of hESC is taken, the generations that follow can suffice a scientist for a while. Pluripotent stem cells originate from embryonic stem cells, making them most versatile of the two types of stem cells (Caplan and Fiester). This unique characteristic offers hundreds of new ways to use the stem cell, unlike in adult stem cells where most are specialized already. to fit into a special category. Since embryonic stem cell lines have amplitudes of cells to use unlike adult cells, they can be made into different types of cells in order to cover a wider range of …show more content…
After years of people becoming terminally ill, there is a way to finally cure and eradicate such diseases. Imagine a world where mothers did not suffer from breast cancer. Susan G. Komen’s Race for the Cure would be a run to remember all those who fought the disease, not used as a fundraiser. There is no Alzheimer’s disease to cause grandfathers to look at their children and ask, “Who are you?” People who wait, for years and years, on transplant lists, sometimes do not survive to the day when they are finally at the top. With the use of embryonic stem cells, everyone in need of a transplant can get one immediately and they do not have to fear their body rejecting the organ. This time where these illnesses and conditions do not exist anymore, is not far off. Embryonic stem cells are the solution to the world’s terminal illness problem. Providing more funding and lifting the bans on the facilities using them in research, will advance the process of finding cure
