Stem cell controversy

When multi-cellular organisms develop, cells must differentiate to form specialised cells, which have a diverse range of functions, these then give the organism the necessary assistance to survive and eventually live. A stem cell is a cell which is undifferentiated and not yet specialised, although it has to capability to form or configure itself into any other type of cell. Fertilised embryos are called zygotes which then produce pluripotent embryonic stem cells, a prerequisite to the survival…

Stem Cell research (Medical Ethicist) As a medical ethicist there is a giant controversy on whether to use Embryonic Stem Cells because many believe that using embryonic cells is killing a baby before it is fully developed. The way they get these embryonic cells is after 4 days of the embryo growing it turns into a blastocyst which is a hollow ball of cells with cells inside of that and it is called the inner cell mass. Those are the cells that turn into the embryo and they have already started…

Stems Cells The use of stems cells has caused immense controversy among humanity over the years. There is a very thin line between the use of stem cells for science purposes and the morality of using stem cells, even for the reasons of science. The argument surrounding the use of stem cells, like any argument, has two sides to the argument. There are those who are in favor of the use of stems, and there are those are against the use of stem cells with arguments that support both opinions; I…

Stem cells are a subject that brings up controversy in many areas, like in politics and religion. Stems cells are just a class of undifferentiated cells that are able to differentiate into specialized cell types. Stem cells have two main types which are embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. The use of stem cells, whether embryonic or adult, have definite pros and cons. The pros of this would be all of the medical benefits like finding treatments and cures for many diseases such as cancer,…

and to be able to accept them as reality. However, when there are new scientific discoveries there are often debates on its reliability and whether or not it’s ethical to use such means, but usually is accepted within a decade or two. The use of stem cells, however, has been a topic of debate since the 1970s and shows no sign of ending just yet. Even so, research in this field has continued and has shown that…

body. Being able to regrow damaged cells sounds whole heartedly good. Although many people are against it because of how they repair the loss or damaged cells. To be able to repair damaged cells scientist must first obtain stem cells. Stem cells can be obtained three ways. First by reverse engineering the cell, this type of stem cell is called a pluri-potent cell. The second way is by borrowing some of the adult’s stem cells thus comes the name Adult stem cells. The last method is the method…

trial with 167 patients with severe angina (Your 1). He took a patient’s own stem cells and injected them in 10 different areas on the heart. The goal was for the stem cells to help repair tiny blood…

diabetes. Though it may sound like a dream come true, it is not something of myth. With 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.…

Stem cell function Over the course of human history, medicine has come along way. Centuries ago, we thought that he body was composed of different liquids called humors and if you were unlucky to get sick during this time, your blood would have been withdrawn in a process known as "blood-letting". In modern time, we can give antibiotics, perform open-heart surgery and even operate on the brain. However, one of the newest advances in medicine is stem cell research, which is a promising new field…
