    This creates a large significance in planaria research because the research can be used to fix issues in stem cell development. This research, conducted by J.Rink, also mentions that the same stem cells found in planaria are also beginning to be found in organisms classified in Annelida, raising the question if this experiment could be conducted on annelids. Through evolution, Annelids now also have similar…

    stem cells when they found what they could do in salamanders; because salamanders have the ability to regenerate their tails after being ripped off, scientists thought that maybe the same regenerating tissue ( stem cells ) could be used in humans as well. This means injuries, such as fractures, can be fixed by placing these cells to the site of the injury. The stem cells build themselves up and fix the break by regeneration and multiplying; the damaged tissue is quickly restored. Stem cells are…

    disease. A stem cell by definition is a cell that upon division replaces its own numbers and gives rise to cells that differentiate further into one or more specialized types. Scientists use the cells obtained from embryos to conduct the research in finding possible cures for these diseases. Therein lays many ethical issues. The ethical issue on embryonic stem cell research is vast and complex. Some people will argue that there are other ways to find these cures using stem cells other than…

    Stem cells show the potential to be able to heal many types of injuries and degenerative diseases. Though stem cell therapies are questionable in their effectiveness, New York Yankees pitcher Bartolo Colon opted to have a treatment done in the Dominican Republic after having persistent arm troubles that prevented him from completing a single full season from 2005 to 2012, and even forced him to sit out for the full season in 2010. Steve Sternberg, a regular correspondent of USA Today, reported…

    The human body potential is limitless. We have the ability to further the previous breakthroughs in medical science with a minute number of undifferentiated cells. Stem cells are remarkable in their impending capability of giving rise to an indefinite amount of cells in some cases. I look forward to a future where renowned research will one day enable conditions, which are now seen as incurable to become treatable. I have always wanted to pursue a career in the medical field; this aspiration has…

    Lidya Gauthier ANS1040 Argumentative Essay Draft 1 Stem cell research should not be prohibited “Without stem cells, wounds would never heal, your skin and blood could not continually renew themselves, fertilized eggs would not grow into babies, and babies would not grow into adults.” (What are stem cells? Par.1) Stem cells were founded in 1998. They have two important characteristics. First, they can become any kind of cells in a multicellular organism. Second, they can renew themselves…

    Thesis statement: Stem cell therapy has been at the forefront of medical research for many years to benefit human life: they help in organ regeneration when some organs are damaged or lost during accidents, these help in curing most of the genetical and metabolic diseases and they play a vital role in clinical trial phases for new drug discovery. Introduction: As long as humans exist, the need for extensive technology advancements in medical field will be abundant to improve human health…

    Stem cells are cells that have the ability to differentiate into many different types of specialized cells. However, stem cells are not where the controversial and ethical debates come from (NIH). Embryonic stem cells are the potentially life saving, while life ending, solution that flares controversial debates from scientists, religious leaders, politicians, and everyone in between. Embryonic stem cells are stem cells derived from an human embryos that are around five days old and have the…

    Stem cell research brings up the idea of advanced technology. If a person has the technology to do something, does that necessarily mean that we have the obligation or expectation to do so? C.S. Lewis once said that, “Man’s power over nature turns out to be a power exercised by some men over other men with nature as its instrument. Man’s final conquest has proved to be the abolition of man.” In a sense, the destruction of man by man seems fitting in the case of stem cells. What it’s all boiled…

    Foundation event, she brought up the issue stem cell research. Former First lady Reagan said “Science has presented us with a hope called stem-cell research, which may provide our scientists with many answers that have for so long been beyond our grasp,” she said. “I don’t see how we can turn our backs on this. There are so many diseases that can be cured or at least helped. We’ve lost so much time already. I can’t bear to lose any more.” Stem cells have amazing potential; Like infants they…
