    Stem Cell Therapy is a modern biotechnology that uses stem cells that come from different parts of one’s body and are of different kinds such as embryonic, adult, and tissue-specific, just to name a few. Stem cells are premature cells that have the ability to divide themselves into various kinds of cells in the body. Moreover, they are able to regenerate and mend damaged tissues from which they came from. There are several views on this biotechnology. Some researchers such as Paul…

    (Champman) Currently there are specifically three possible sources of stem cell: Number one, adult stem cells derived from pediatric or adult donors and it is found in many kinds of tissues and also in bone marrow, skin, and the liver. Number two, embryo germ cell stem cells (EG Cells) that are derived from that of an aborted…

    pleasant for women who had endured difficulties with their reproductive systems. Wood had studied gynecological medicine at Melbourne University in Australia. He also conducted research in London and the U.S. He invented the method of using frozen embryos and also pioneered the use of fertility drugs for the reproduction of multiple eggs, which increases the success rate in IVF pregnancy. He also made other major contributions to the medical field of gynecology with research involving fetal…

    sculpture, “The Young Family”, of a mother creature with her babies was displayed in 2002. “I take it for granted that technology will continue to advance” said Patricia Piccinini in her description of “The Young Family”. 15 years later, an actual pig embryo was injected with human stem cells and pictures were shown to the world. Before writing this paper, I didn’t realized how often artists use their work to question scientific issues. Piccinini hoped “The Young family” would encourage…

    fertilization in a laboratory after egg retrieval is needed in order to be able to evaluate the embryo before transfer to a female’s uterus. Typically within three days the embryo will have divided into six to eight cells, and the cells are tested for the presence or absence of a gene. A portion of the embryos with the desirable genetic code will then be implanted within the female’s uterus, and the rest of the healthy embryos will be frozen for possible future use. The…

    functions within the body. The cell can be totipotent (able to develop into an organism), pluripotent (able to form tissues of an organism)or multipotent specialized for a certain tissues e.g. blood). Whilst stem cells are mainly known for coming from embryos, there are a wide variety of other sources from which they come, including the bone marrow, placenta, teeth, amniotic fluid and umbilical cord blood, arguably the largest and best source of these cells. Looking into the future, scientists…

    What is the process of therapeutic cloning? The process of therapeutic cloning is removing a nucleus from an abhorrent cell and moving the nucleus into an unfertilized egg, which develops an exact replica of the parent cell, this is then called a clone. The purpose of therapeutic cloning is to strengthen the cells within the body. With the process of therapeutic cloning this then allows the cells to cure diseases that have not been cured yet, this then would allow humanity in the future to be…

    The Buddhist concern that we would not treat the clones with the utmost respect, and possibly be cruel to the beings is quite a good insight. In addition, I think the idea of cultural relativism can completely relate with the Buddhist views. I too believe that in all the evil of this world, we are not meant to be cruel to any being that walks on this Earth. I do not believe that we were put on this Earth to be rude or treat other living things with utter disrespect. While I do agree that we as…

    first mouse embryos were used as the initial test for embryonic stem cells, but after advancements in the research scientists began to move towards using human embryos. All eggs and sperm used for human embryonic development are donated for research with consent of the donors. After acquiring the eggs and sperm, the eggs get fertilized in vitro and after 3-5 days are used for stem cell research. Human embryonic stem cells are created by transferring cells from a preimplantation-stage embryo,…
