Embryology

Overview Stem cell therapies are not new; Doctors have been treating patients with bone marrow stem cell transplants since the 1970s. The controversy raised about 20 years ago when they learned how to remove stem cells from human embryos 1 Moral claims made concerning embryonic stem cells research relates to human rights, medical benefits, policies and laws, and religion’s opinion. Research councils support the stem cell research because of its great values and benefits from the expected…

Though there are three main types of stem cells, it appears that each have their own purposes and advantages in different types of situations. Embryonic stem cells can be used in a wide variety of treatments, and they excel because of their ability to transform into any other type of cell. Because they can change into any type of cell, they can be used to repair specific parts of the body that other stem cells cannot. They are the master key to the body, but if placed in the body…

According to the article “How a Designer Baby Will Spare Us from Breast Cancer”, Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority were able to screen the embryos of two couples, both able to have children, in search of the inherited breast cancer gene (Martin and Hull, para. 2).

It was in the year of 1827 when scientist first discovered that the female body contains what is called today eggs. Back then, medicine called them ova based on its Latin name.

From this significant discovery in 1827, reproductive medicine slowly began developing step-by-step with each year adding…

Cloning can be differentiated in reproductive cloning, which aim it is to…

The cell is the building block of life. The earliest form of these organisms are called stem cells, which can give rise to potentially any kind of cell. The possibilities of these revolutionary cells are vast, and are currently being applied in many scientific fields, one being the medical field. Stem cell scientists study a four to five day old organism, a ball of one hundred and twenty cells, which has the potential to give rise to a human being. Many think that the protection of human life…

Imagine a world where people change God’s intentions. Imagine people picking at what God created and wanted for humanity. Science is changing His intentions.
