gain through furthering stem cell research, but medical breakthroughs should be fundamentally about saving, not destroying, human life. Therefore, I support stem cell research that does not destroy the embryo” (Michael Steele). Stem cells are very beneficial for many reasons and can be used for transplants and testing new medications to help cure diseases and cancer. The negative aspect of stem cells is that embryos can be killed for further research. The research in stem cells still needs to be…
a lot of support, funding, and research, stem cells have the potential to eliminate all of the prior and more. Stem cells are an example of the basic building blocks of life: virtually microscopic, unspecialized cells that can evolve to nearly any kind of cell, tissue, or organ. Stem cells can be extracted from a few different places, however, the most efficient and resourceful are ones embryonic in nature. That is, obtained from human embryos. Embryonic…
Embryonic stem cells are very controversial in the scientific community and as well as the medical community for many reasons. “Stem cells are cells that can be any cell that the human body needs to be”,(Rowlery,usnews.com). For example, a stem cell can be a skin cell, a liver cell and or a bone cell. The reason why embryonic stem cells are extremely controversies is because the cells come from human embryos. To obtain theses types of cells a mother need to have an abortion, and doctors and…
Stem cells have become one of the most prominent fields of research within the medical industry, since the 20th century in the modern scientific world. A stem cell is an immature biological cell that has the potential to transform into differentiated specialised cells to perform various functions and features within a body. These cells are found within various multi – cellular organisms, and have the potential to reproduce by the process of mitosis to produce more stem cells. In mammals, these…
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) continue to be a leading topic to scientific discussions due to their potential medical advantages. Embryonic stem cells originate from gathering and culturing the cell mass from a blastocyst stage embryo developed via in vitro fertilization in specialized fertilization clinics. Human stem cells are great for utilization in clinics and research about the development of the human body. This work consists of identifying how undifferentiated stem cells become the…
After a sperm cell and egg cell are combined to fertilized egg, It becomes a blastocyst trough cell division. Inside the blastocyst, there is a mass of cells called intracellular cells which form embryos through cell division and differentiation. Embryos form one fetus through pregnancy. In this process, cells of inner cell mass are differentiated into cells of all tissues, such as blood, bones, skin, and liver. If you remove cells of inner cell mass from a blastocyst and incubate them in a…
facing genetic malfunctions and other obstacles, “75 to 80 percent of all embryos created through intercourse alone fail to implant and are naturally lost” (Hyun). Despite this astonishingly large number, pro-Life supporters do not believe embryonic stem cell research should be conducted. Those against abortion argue that all embryos…
Embryonic stem cell research is incredible! It’s so beneficial for our health, but the prices we have to pay for it are….not so incredible, but they aren’t horrible. Personally, I want to fund it, but I don’t cause it’s like, you’re killing things (not babies yet) and technically they’re not alive yet, but you’re saving actual people’s lives. I understand the whole religious thing, but if whoever you believe in didn’t want you didn’t want people to invent stem cell research, then why did they…
Embryonic STEM Cell Research: Man vs. God 21st century Hawaiians come from a long lineage of powerful and mighty warriors. Their ancestors had to survive several trials and obstacles of war and disease in order to continue on their legacy. Despite the fact, the Hawaiian race has weakened, now becoming the world’s leading population for heart disease. Thanks to revolutionary scientific discoveries, scientists are now able to produce working, artificial organs and tissues using STEM cells,…
study procedures in medical fields and stem cells has always been to find cure for the incurable and to prolong the lives that would be cut short because of these diseases. There have been many different experiments that scientists have performed that seem promising but ended up failing in some way, but right now in this century the biggest medical advancement opportunity is in stem cells. With the help of all the scientists studying stem cells, Embryonic Stem Cells (eSC) can be a great way for…
