Stem cell controversy

research that is known as stem cell research that could lead to several medical and scientific revolutions, but numerous people argues that stem cell research is unethical and it stirs up many conflicts with religious groups. Stem cells are very unique cells that have the potential to perform various specific tasks. Many of the common people argue about the ways to retrieve the stems cells. There are also countless advantages and disadvantages of stem cell research. Is stem cell research right…

Stem cells are the ones that divide and give rise to more identical cells. The identical cells developed will have the capacity to divide and give rise to different cells or even more similar stem cells. Stem cells are two types one of them are embryonic stem cells and the other are adult stem cells. In February 1963 the scientists named Ernesr McCulloch and James did experiments on bone marrow of mice and discovered that there is production of different kinds of blood cells from a single group…

Stem Cell Research: Right to Life It’s characteristic for most people to automatically jump to the conclusion that all stem cells come from an aborted fetus. Well, this is not true, and this is where the controversy begins. Stem cell research is the study of cells within the body that can develop into another and completely different cell during life, for example a stem cell that was used to create your skin as a skin graft, could now be constructing cells in your blood or bone marrow. When it…

Stem cell research is a hot topic in the medical field today. Usually most people, who are not deeply involved with the news in the medical field, have heard of doctors, whether it be in the news/tv or on a social media site, trying to figure out ways to utilize stem cells and create medical advancements when dealing with things such as heart disease. However, there is a lot of debate that comes along with the words stem cell research. The most common way a person may have heard the term…

Stem cells are unspecialized cells that are capable of renewing themselves and can be induced to become tissue or organ-specific cells with certain functions (NIH, 2015). Stem cells first started to catch wind in 1868, but it was a term that appeared in scientific literature to describe a fertilized egg that can become an organism (Boston Children’s Hospital, 2015). Over the years, stem cells were studied thoroughly and helped scientists understand how human diseases, like diabetes and cancer,…

that she would never walk again. A nine month old baby boy was admitted to a hospital and diagnosed with sickle cell disease, and the same night, suffered a stroke on his entire right side. A natural gas leak had been detonated inside of a house after a match had been lit, covering most of the young woman’s body with second and third degree burns. Each one of these patients found stem cells as their best, or only, alternative to a crippling disability or death. The young girl with the injured…

Stem cell research. Those three little words may seem so simple, but the mixed reactions and controversial propaganda that surround the topic are staggeringly diverse. Stem cells are very unique cells that have the ability to morph into any of the types of cells found in our bodies (Newton 3). Blood, heart, nerve, and skin are all types of cells that stem cells have the potential to turn into. Due to this, stem cells could quite easily cause revolutionary breakthroughs in the medical scene,…

opinion on stem cell research has drastically changed from when the controversy first got major media coverage in 2001. According to a poll posted to isidewith.com, 73 percent of Americans agree the federal government should fund stem cell research, while 27 percent think the contrary. But why has public perception taken a complete and utter turnaround from years ago? One may argue, positives of stem cells outweigh the negatives. Today, we have a better understanding of what these cells are…

Stem Cell Research and its Controversies Stem cells have been believed to originate from primordial germ cells, which normally produce the sperm or oocyte. They are pluripotent cells that proliferate indefinitely with appropriate growth factor and nutrients, and appropriate environment (Kurt, F. Ö., Aydemir, I., Özkut, M., Cezayirli, E., & Tuğlu, M. İ., 2015). These characteristics can lead to a greater understanding of human biology in addition to new cures for diseases like Huntington’s. Stem…

study, stem cell research. Stem cells are unspecialized cell found predominantly in embryos and adult body tissue that have the potential to take on the role of another cell. The discovery of human embryonic stem cells in the late 1990’s and paved a new road for regenerative medicine. The often-misconstrued stance of the Catholic Church regarding stem cell research has shined a negatively misinformed light on the Church and its followers. Stem cells are defined as “undifferentiated” cells,…
