Stem cell controversy

is CoQ10? CoQ10 is an essential nutrient that resides in the mitochondria, which are the tiny “energy factories” inside each of your cells. It’s the catalyst that sparks the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is…

In the TED speech Can we prevent the end of the world, the speaker Martin Rees expresses his worries and concerns on the future of human-beings. In his opinion, there is an urgent need for human-beings to prevent the destruction of the world since the biggest dangers leading to the end of world are the behaviors of human beings instead of natural disasters. To prevent the end of the world, he suggests research and human intervention is necessary to mitigate the existential risk of human…

not have anything to do with producing more offspring’s. It is about transplanting normal genes to places where it is needed, to correct certain disorders or mutations. This process, while it may save millions of lives, when it involves embryonic cells, it kills the potential of life. Although, I agree that we are on a course to push the scales of science even…

Earliest research projects on cloning technology launched in late 20th century. With advancement of science, there was a breakthrough in 1998— a human embryo clone was created.(But then destroyed after 12 days.) This discovery indicates that the era which there is common usage in human clones will not be far away and it is something we all should be aware which the ethical issues should be well-addressed. While human clones have intelligence and physical properties that are identical to that of…

Looking at the decline of U.S. investment in global research, the increase in industry sponsored research, the closeness of university research to the marketplace, and the shortage of STEM educated college graduates and technicians, American research administrators could soon experience a rather unfortunate series of events. From being more overworked to witnessing the eradication of the career altogether, research administrators can…

What is the public opinion on genetic testing? Some see it as a faulty and unreliable waste of time and money, and others that truly understand it see it was a very beneficial way to save millions of lives. Genetic testing uses laboratory methods to look at your genes, which are the DNA instructions you inherit from your mother and your father. Genetic tests may be used to identify increased risks of health problems, to choose treatments, or to assess responses to treatments (NHGR 1). Genetic…

The Human Genetic Modification, a new futuristic medical tool, comes as a blessing but also comes as a curse too. Can we even handle this gift that was bestowed to us for its usage? That, however, would be answered; as Opposition. In the articles, “Understanding Genetic (diseases)”, Dr. Maggie Pearce, a Geneticist, stated, “[Broken Genes] Too hard to fix someone’s broken genes”. Likewise, to believers, human genetic modification comes as a blessing to few dozen people, but the thoughts itself…

lives?” is the question embryonic stem cell research poses. Embryonic stem cell research is an attempt to use embryonic stem cells to find cure for diseases. Although science has found cure for many diseases in last few years, it is not possible to cure every single disease. Thus we should not be killing embryos, to cure disease. As we are finding cure to the deadliest, we are also planning to kill lives by using up embryos. While it might save lives, embryonic stem cell research should not be…

Greeting fellow peers I want to thank you all for coming out to hear my speech.I would like to start off with a quote."Every risk is worth taking, as long as it's for a good cause, and contributes to a good life." ~unknown. I strongly believe major explorations are worth the risk.Why?I say this because taking a risk can help you accomplish new things that either you wanted to do or never did.Listed in front of me I have 3 reasons cite about why major explorations are worth the risk. For…

In the video it describes the dilemma of cloning and how certain individuals feel as if this is dangerous and immoral. Unfortunately, several people are scared of cloning and what it could do to our society as well as how it could compromise the dignity of human life as we know it. It is true that scientific inventions and technology can be abused, but if we stick with “what-ifs” and our fears, we can never learn the full potential and ingenuity of biotechnology as a whole. Regardless on if…
