Cell division is the basic of reproduction for all living things. It is important and indeed in all living organisms. It enables the multicellular organisms to grow until the adult size, when the cell division plays role in reproducing cell into more new cells. Besides, cell division also replaces the worn-out or damaged cells in order to maintain the total cells numbers in a mature individual relatively constant. For instance is, there are millions of cells in human’s body will divide themselves

Should stem cell research be allowed? 1. Stem Cell Research has helped cure certain types of Cancer and Alzheimer’s. 2. Stem Cells have been shown to regenerate the body and help people to live longer. 3. Embryonic Stem Cells are the best cells to use for research but it means possibly killing an embryo that could be a person at some point. 4. The Process for Research is extremely expensive. The arguments (1 & 2) are valid arguments for stem cell research because scientists
