Are Stem Cells Worth The Cost? Introduction Stem Cells have a lot of potentials to cure/heal the human body, but is it worth the cost? Embryonic stem cells have the potential to transform medicine. Scientist and doctors believe they could potentially treat a myriad of human conditions and diseases, such as spinal cord injury, type 1 diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases and many others. However, there are many issues and barriers to fulfilling this potential. Helping people walk again sounds like…

I personally believe that embryonic stem cell research is an important investment for the future. Stem cells are cells that are able to develop into different types of cells. Stems cells have the potential to be used to cure many diseases. There are also other uses for stem cells like organ repairs. Even though they would be so beneficial, there is an ethical debate. I believe that it is ethical and that it is something that should be done. There is a huge debate over the ethics of stem cell…

Spinal cord injuries are currently being treated and with continued research I believe scientists might be able to successfully treat Parkinson’s disease, ALS, Alzheimer’s and many other diseases. , I support the use the aborted embryo for stem cell research, as I support the belief that the benefits of the research overcome the ethical problem of destroying an embryo. Also, it would be wasteful to discard embryos collected…

In recent history, there have been remarkable breakthroughs in medical technology. The advent of vaccinations, HIV AIDS treatment options and targeted chemotherapy are all incredible discoveries that have saved millions of lives. However, recent research into the application of regenerative therapies using stem cells has loomed over most other discoveries as possibly the most important breakthrough in recent history. Because stem cells are so versatile, they could be be used to treat diseases…

The author focuses on umbilical cord blood stem cells in his article. This article is about the future, and what soon possibilities there are stem cell research and cord blood. Also it includes some emotional aspects of saving cord blood. It talks about the actions taken that parents prepare for with troubled…

There are many people out there who have said that stem cell research is a crucial part to moving up in medical technologies. Stem cell research can help doctors unlock different and more helpful forms of medicines that can impact many different illnesses. But then on the other hand, there are people who see stem cell research as a negative and basically a form of abortion. Now abortion is an issue all on its own but when stem cell research, which is supposed to be beneficial to society, is…

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 been established over my years of studying science, sitting witness to deadly diseases and the realisation that I could better the lives of many whilst working in this field. The transition from…

What is Cancer? Cancer is formed when malignant tumors are formed inside one’s body. Malignant tumors are defined as “ a term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and can invade nearby tissues.” Quoted from https://www.cancer.gov/publications/dictionaries/cancer-terms/def/malignancy Tumors are also defined as a mass of tissues which also called lumps. These tumors are formed when the normal process of cells dividing itself was disrupted because normally, our body signals…

Can you imagine a world without disease, a world where you can have any trait of your child, changed to what you want, or even reverse the aging process by years? Well, with your help it can all be possible by using Stem Cell Research and some genetics as needed. 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…

Many people think that cancer is just a disease, in fact, cancer is not just a disease but it consists of hundred different types of cancer. Most of the cancer are named based on the organ where these abnormal cell division started. For example, if these uncontrollable cell division started at the breast, it is called breast cancer, if the cancer started in the melanocytes of the skin, it is call the melanoma cancer. Now, what is telomerase? Telomerase is a type of ribonucleoprotein enzyme in…
