can stem cells advance medicine? Par.6). Also, stem cells researches can help understand the development of a human body. By understanding how a human body is created scientist will be able to found new treatments for illness due to abnormal cell division like…

Imagine a world in which many of the illnesses and diseases that our society suffers today, were curable. Imagine a world in….. Fortunately, the progressive research behind the stem cell could make this imaginable world a true reality. In early development, stem cells are situated and clustered within every organ and tissue. Our body is made of several types of cells, however, “a stem cell differs from every other cell in the body in its ability to renew itself” (“What is a Stem Cell?”).…

of events played out in reverse order as they go back in time to show the protagonist, Yong-ho, living his life that begins with playful innocence during a sunny day and ends with his committing suicide by standing in front of a train, exclaiming, “I want to go back!” A significant piece of dialog, the desire to go back becomes a symptom caused by traumatic events and exudes the will to change the ever-influential past. Yong-ho experiences firsthand the cruelty with which the early military…

livelihood and persistence of all athletic teams. If regulations are violated, an investigation can occur and sanctions placed on the department. Mark Nagel, professor of sports and entertainment management at the University of South Carolina said, “some Division III teams are moving from the old approach of winning being secondary to it being the primary mission. Those schools have looked at athletics and said, ‘If we do a little more here and invest a little more there, we have a chance to…

It is forbidden for people who live in the country of North Korea to leave the country without permission of the government in power. Not only being on strict limits for leaving the country, the government in power tries to limit/restrict the people of North Koreas movement even inside their own country. You must have a clearly stated particular responsibility/duty or purpose if you wish to go to another part of the country and receive permission from your work unit. For those not living in…

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…

Literacy has broader implications of the word than the definition in the dictionary. The reason why I recalled the moment of a middle school class in Korea is also related to impacts of literacy. That is because backgrounds and experiences of a person determine literacy of the person. Since I learned shallow definition of English words in Korea, sometimes I misunderstand lectures. These kinds of situations might be seen as one of 'literacy events ' due to different backgrounds. "Literacy…

Regardless of whichever side of the spectrum debaters find themselves on, they have to have the factual information. Also it may surprise one as to what the current and past government’s position or stance of the subject of stem cell research, specifically embryonic stem cells, has been and currently is. It never hurts to know more information. Another major thing to consider are the costs. According to Alliance for Aging Research founder Daniel Perry, “Over 100 million Americans suffer from…

Many people are familiar with bone marrow stem cell transplants because it has helped save the lives of many patients for decades. Stem cells are biologically defined as “unspecialized cells found in living things and are able to renew themselves and develop into other cells by means of growth and repair so long as the host is still alive. They can also be manipulated to become tissue or organ specific cells” ("14 Key Pros and Cons of Embryonic Stem Cell Research”). However, controversy…

Do you know someone with a disease like Alzheimer’s or diabetes? These people are in pain and having to struggle everyday knowing that, at this moment, there is not a cure for their illness. Doctors and scientists have been trying to fight these stubborn illnesses for decades, and were successful in finding a lead in 1998; which led to the development of embryonic stem cell research. The use of these stem cells, which are cells that can conform to any use or function that they need to, have been…
