Stem Cell Research Essay

healing is when the bones are intervened and set into place to allow for repair, indirect bone healing is allowing the fracture to heal naturally without any intervention from a third party. This paper will review the biology of a fracture and how stem cells and ossification processes coordinate with indirect and direct fracture healing of the bone. ______________________________________________________________________________ Introduction Bone is a living tissue…

Peterson Charlie Gordon is a very unique human being. He is 37 years old, and he lives in New York. All he wants to do is be smart, because he is not the smartest person in the world. His IQ is 68, so he really wanted to be smart, and fit in with everybody. He is going to have a operation, done to him by two doctors, to make him smarter. Were the doctors being ethical when they wanted Charlie to do the operation, or was it just for science? Ethics is two things. The study of and…

The Infamous Cloning Research Scandal Hwang Woo-Suk, now in his 60s was once a Professor at Seoul National University who is specialized in theriogenology and biotechnology. He used to be a pioneering scientist who claimed that he had successfully cloned human embryonic stem cells, gaining fame and the attention of people around the world and shedding new light on biotechnology researches. However, it turns out that most of his experiments about human embryonic stem cells are fabricated…

At one point in the universe’s long and ongoing history, evolution began with the smallest of sea creatures. Since then, there have been many waves of evolution, and with genetic engineering, humankind will be able to remain adjustable to lifestyle and environmental changes. It may potentially be the peak of the “fittest” that Darwin proposed in 1869. Genetic engineering is not a science fiction fantasy anymore either- is it legitimate and it is growing. Will you grow and adapt with genetic…

her “immortal cells” was the idea that doctors should be required to obtain informed consent from their patients before conducting any extensive research that could affect the patient. Aside from the HeLa case itself, another situation mentioned in the book was Mo versus Golde, a case where a doctor- David Golde- patented and profited off of the cells of one of his patients- John Moore. Doctor David Golde should have been prosecuted for taking and profiting off of John Moore’s cells without his…

In the book, Stiff, Mary Roach ventures to convince the audience of the idea that using cadavers, or dead people, is effective in progressing research in a number of career fields. Through creating a conversation about advancements in forensics and medicine, she argues that donating one’s body to science after death is advanced and necessary. Even though Roach discusses other fields that cadavers positively affect, she mainly bases her assumptions off of chapter three. In chapter three, “Life…

discovered stem cells in the early 1900s. During this discovery, the scientists discovered that some cells had the capability to turn into blood cells, a completely different type of cell. These specific types of cells were classified as stem cells. Stem cells are known as undifferentiated cells, which means they do not have a specific function yet. Stem cells, since undifferentiated, are capable of becoming a specific type of cell such as a blood cell or a muscle cell. Unlike other cells, stem…

Empirical Claim: ¶ 2 – “Stem cells from umbilical-cord blood and adult tissues, posing no moral problem, have advanced quickly toward treating juvenile diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, spinal cord injury, sickle-cell anemia, cardiac damage and other conditions.” This Claim fits the empirical claims criteria because it is based on pervious researched and published work of scientist and it out come have been observed over many years. Normative Claim: ¶ 1 – “Such killing in the name of “progress”…

Therapeutic cloning is cloning to create tissue or organs, even stem cells. But not living subjects. Reproductive cloning on the other hand, the main hopeful outcome is create a living creature from a cell by nuclear replacement. (Healey, J. 2007.) Tissue created by therapeutic cloning have shown promise. It’s been found they are able to create human tissue and hopefully organs, which…

The human body is made up of a variety of cells, tissues, organs and an organ system. Diseases can affect any component of this structural hierarchy. Diseases that affect certain tissues such as cartilage and bones are largely responsible for the pain and immobility many humans can suffer from. Osteoarthritis, a cartilage disease, is the most common form of arthritis. It can affect any joint in the human body, such as the hip, knee, spine, and joints in the fingers. Osteoarthritis results in the…
