Bioethical Debate: Stem Cells Ella Reich 1˚ AP Biology, Carlmont High School Introduction The possible uses of stem cells are a very controversial topic in modern biology and medicinal science. Stem cells are unspecialized body cells that have the ability to grow and develop into many various types of cells in the body. For example, a single stem cell has the potential to develop into a blood cell, a brain cell, a tissue cell, a muscle cell, or several other specialized cells. Stem cells…

occur during this stage. At week 3 the embryo is about two millimeters long and looks comparable to a salamander. At week eight the embryo is somewhat more human with nubs for arms and legs. The brain and nervous system are developing rapidly. The heart has been beating for nearly a month. All organs are in place in some kind form. The embryo’s gender was not apparent until now. Only at this point do male and female characteristics emerge (Thomas, 2013). The embryo has gone through major…

Protoplasm of seed cells that include cytoplasm and nucleus is activated and that insoluble food materials are solubilized that therefore, diffused from the storage region to the embryo axis. It also develops several enzymes which are essential for growth and germination of seed (Pujari, 2014) (Miller & Levine, 2008). Temperature also plays an important role in seed germination where as low temperature may let seeds misunderstand…

Imagine walking down a long row of cages. In every cage there is a terrified animal. The animals range from birds, rodents, and fish to dogs and cats. Although each animal is different, they all have one thing in common: they are lab subjects. Every animal is petrified while cowering in the corner of their cage. The animals also writhe in pain because of the drugs that are coursing through their bloodstream. The animals have never experienced what it is like to be loved and cared for. They only…

The fetus, just like a human, has all the functioning organs it needs to have to be considered a human and needs to have the right of life.

Based on the information acquired, abortion should be illegal because abortion is murder, Norma (Roe) lied in court to take part in the legalization of abortion, the fetus is a human and has the right to be born, there are health complications towards the mother…

with this matter. He tries to keep a positive outlook, but he is also afraid, even though he doesn’t show it. The first doctors check up was already in the second stage of the embryonic stage. The organs start forming, and the body system of the embryo starts to grow. In her case, since her career is based on her body and health Dr. Septien is allowing her to train normally but limiting her load to only 20 lbs due to a fresh pregnancy and the chances of miscarriages. The doctor took her…

Prenatal diagnosis has become of of the most important factors of the obstetrics practice, it diagnoses any complications or possible disorders, especially trisomy 21 (Down’s syndrome) of the unborn baby. The most common methods for prenatal diagnosis of trisomy 21 require invasive procedures, which includes Amniocentesis and Chorionic Villus Sampling (C.V.S), where it uses a sample of the fetal tissues. These two options carry a small but definite risk. Therefore, they could cause more…

Pregnancy and prenatal harm to offspring arise many issues. What is the right balance of the fetuses "rights" and the mother 's rights of bodily integrity? Finding the accommodating balance is both difficult and challenging. Both the fetus and mother must be analyzed and evaluated to come to an ultimatum deciding what is best for the unborn child, while also considering the mother 's rights to autonomy and bodily integrity.
