Problems of Stem Cell Research Essay

When HeLa cells started to be sold, do you think Dr.Gey should have stepped in to assure that Henrietta Lacks’ family was compensated in some way? Do you think they should be compensated at all? Dr. Gey should have looked out for the Lacks family and let them know about the cells back in 1951. The lives of Henrietta’s children would have been greatly improved had they had that money. The Lacks family deserves compensation not only because Henrietta’s cells were taken without permission, but…

An author is expanding he or her ethos and logs in a scholar journal and popular article by quotation. The quotation is used in order to expand the knowledge of the paper and established a credible of a topic. According to Linton, Madigan and Johnson scientific paper stay away from using direct quotation for two reason “First the practice of rephrasing minimizes explicit attention to the language in which ideas are expressed and contributes to what George Dillon has called “the rhetoric of…

Embryonic Stem Cell Research The world of medical science has advanced greatly over the past decade. Using various methods, scientists have been able to do research to find cures for diseases and other ailments. One such method involves the use of embryonic stem cells. Along with the success in the field of medical science, there has come a moral backlash of using preborn children for research. Although the benefits of embryonic stem cell research may outweigh the disadvantages, does the ends…

obstacle in their venture for greatness. Civilization and religion has limited the amount of research that scientist can perform. From reproductive cloning to animal testing, the science world and society have always disagreed on many subjects. One of those controversial subjects that science and society still hasn't agreed on is Therapeutic Cloning. Therapeutic cloning is the practice of producing embryonic cells to replace or repair a damaged tissue or organ (Henry, 2010). Therapeutic cloning…

This form of communication can be used to directly resolve a situation between members of staff regarding a sample or inform a member of staff about information they have acquired. For example, if a stained bone marrow smear is not adequate for a cell morphology study, the consultant can directly ask me for a restrain of the same bone marrow aspirate smear or the staining of a completely new smear from the same patient. While vocal dissemination of information can be easy to express, it also can…

Stem cell transplantation, sometimes referred to as bone marrow transplant, is a procedure that replaces unhealthy blood-forming cells with healthy cells. Stem cell transplantation allows doctors to give large doses of chemotherapy or radiation therapy to increase the chance of eliminating blood cancer in the marrow and then restoring normal blood cell production. Researchers continue to improve stem cell transplantation procedures, making them an option for more patients. The basis for stem…

of embryonic stem cells: Growing cells within the laboratory is thought as cell culture. Human embryonic stem cells ar generated by transferring cells from a preimplantation-stage embryo into a plastic laboratory culture dish that contains a nutrient broth called matter. The cells divide and cover the surface of the dish. The inner surface of the culture dish is often coated with mouse embryonic skin cells that are treated in order that they won't divide. This coating layer of cells is named a…

As the advancements in gene editing technology receive more funding and political backing from investors and the government, the question of where to draw the line when it comes to placing limitations on its usage, it brings up the age-old question,” Is this practice ethically sound”? The main fear that many people have with the idea of utilizing gene editing technology is the possibility misuse and abuse from both those within the scientific community and even from the public . For example,…

leftover blood that is in the placenta and the section of the umbilical cord that remains attached to the placenta after the cord to the baby has been cut. This blood contains red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and plasma, just like normal blood. But it also has lots of hematopoietic (blood-forming) stem cells that are similar to the ones found in bone marrow. This is why cord blood is now being used on an experimental basis as an alternative to bone marrow transplants for patients…

Introduction Stem cell research has caused a great deal of controversy throughout the past several decades. Stem cells are unique because they can develop into different cell types in the body. While the stem cell is dividing, the new cells that are being created can turn into specialized cells, such as, brain cells or red blood cells. As a result, the specialized stem cells could help people suffering from a plethora of diseases, specifically Alzheimer’s disease. Despite the many benefits…
