Embryonic Stem Cell Research offers so much, not only to biomedical sciences but it also brings hope to life. The excitement these cells bring like curing human diseases, giving scientist an in-depth knowledge and to get a further understanding of the human development, the discovery of new medical drug, and hope for new therapies that can change our lives. With these hopes, brings so many ethical controversies, and so many people have such strong oppositions. One of the biggest controversy is…

Frankenstein could be Cloning or stem cell research. Stem cell research is a very complicated process and can lead to difficulties but also has its pro’s and although some people may claim that pursuing stem cell research is like playing the role of god like they said in Frankenstein stem cell research saves many lives. Some cons of stem cell research is that the plasticity or flexibility of these cells to differentiate into desired cells or organs…

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 cells are…

Stem Cells Enhance Life Nancy Reagan, former first lady of the United States explains her feelings about stem cell research by stating, “Now 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.” Day after day, the research and use of stem cells greatly increase allowing for scientists to explore the unimaginable, creating a large amount of life from a single, minute cell. Stem cell…

Embryonic Stem Cells: The Cell of Many Potentials According to renowned physicist Stephen Hawking, “Stem cell research is the key to developing cures for degenerative conditions like Parkinson 's and motor neuron disease from which I and many others suffer. The fact that the cells may come from embryos is not an objection, because the embryos are going to die anyway.” Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have two important abilities. Firstly, they have the ability to renewed themselves…

Allowing Embryonic Stem Cells to be Used in Medical Research Throughout the past decades, researchers from across the globe have been trying to find cures for debilitating illnesses that have ravaged the human race since the beginning of time. Cancer, blindness, and Alzheimer 's disease are just a few of the many that are on the list. The discovery of stem cells, blank cells that can become any type of cell in the body, has been the leading breakthrough in the search for cures. Although they are…

Stem cell research is a hot topic in the medical field today. Usually most people, who are not deeply involved with the news in the medical field, have heard of doctors, whether it be in the news/tv or on a social media site, trying to figure out ways to utilize stem cells and create medical advancements when dealing with things such as heart disease. However, there is a lot of debate that comes along with the words stem cell research. The most common way a person may have heard the term…

Stem cells are cells that have the capacity to become different types of cell in the body. They also have the ability to replace or repair damaged tissue or cells. Stem cell research forms part of the regenerative medicine field. Stem cell research requires practices that require the genetic manipulation of microorganisms in order to improve the quality of human life. Stem cells can be procured in three different ways: Adult stem cells, umbilical cord blood, and embryonic tissue (Harris, Morgan,…

Stem cell research. Those three little words may seem so simple, but the mixed reactions and controversial propaganda that surround the topic are staggeringly diverse. Stem cells are very unique cells that have the ability to morph into any of the types of cells found in our bodies (Newton 3). Blood, heart, nerve, and skin are all types of cells that stem cells have the potential to turn into. Due to this, stem cells could quite easily cause revolutionary breakthroughs in the medical scene,…

behind the HeLa cells, Henrietta Lacks, holds relevant today and forever. The unethical acts of the scientific and public health community lead to consequences that create a lasting impact on affected communities. Henrietta’s story and other immoral research practices have left a stain on the way disadvantaged groups view medicine, doctors, and public health. This stain will lead to a decrease in the efficacy of their healthcare and in turn hinder them even further. Henrietta’s cells currently…
