Stem Cell Research Michael Koehler BCOM/275 April 27, 2015 Mrs. Johnson Stem Cell Research There are an estimated three million adults and children fighting Type 1 Diabetes in the United States alone, with that number growing by more than 15,000 cases per year. Over the course of the past fifteen years, scientists have discovered that using human embryonic stem cells can soon cure not only

Applications in the Medical Industry Embryonic Stem Cells “In a new study, researchers from Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh have created a cell printer that spits out living embryonic stem cells” (Lewis, 2013). Human embryonic stem cells are cells derived from embryos that have not yet “transformed” into a specific cell type but can do so under certain conditions. This characteristic makes them an effective tool in restoring or repairing damaged organs, tissue or cells. Furthermore, they can be used to print

In your opinion, when does life begin and what are the ethical implications of your position? While some suggest that life is a continuum as gametes link generations, it is the society’s general view that life begins at a distinct time point. To many, life begins at the time when we are born in the hospital as a baby. At that particular moment, an individual is officially declared as “born” and thus be granted an identify in the society. Seemingly, life of an individual begins at birth. However

isolated and grew the first stem cells from human embryos created by the use of IVF (“Stem Cell Basics: Introduction”, 2002). It was this discovery that set off an unrelenting debate over the practice of not just embryonic stem cell but stem cell research in general for almost the next two decades. Those who oppose embryonic stem cell research find it unethical because the destruction of a human embryo is necessary. Others opponents are under the assumption that stem cell research can lead to human

advancements. Rapid renovation in medical research, disease treatment, and advanced quality of life has marked the turn of the century. Recent development in stem cell research has brought forth an ethical debate; whether research to achieve new medical remedies is permissible at the stake of, arguably, the unborn life of frozen embryos or if stem cell research should cease at the cost of disease stricken people worldwide to preserve an embryo that may never be born. 1. Massage (Articulate) the Problem:

raised some heads, as some are against it because they believe it’s playing God. Human Genetic engineering has been viewed as a way to cure hereditary diseases. There are over 3,000 diseases as a result of a genetic disorder. Conditions such as sickle-cell anemia, Tay-Sachs disease, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Huntington's

Ron Reagan’s eye-opening quote, “You cannot be against embryonic stem cell research and be intellectually and therefore morally consistent, if you’re not also against in vitro fertilization” (Reagan 78) indicates that in vitro fertilization is completely immoral and a very unethical method to use. Ever since the IVF procedure has been developed, in vitro fertilization has been a major topic of controversy and questions moral ethics from a religious and scientific perspective. The parents of the ill

innovation of helping others using various different methods is rapidly changing. Embryonic stem cell research is a very controversial topic in society at this moment and there are many people who believe in the use and many who oppose the method. Embryonic stem cells can possibly be used to cure many of humanities common ailments because of their unique qualities in being able to grow into many different types of cells. With this capability we have the capability to restore failing organs and other diseases

Embryonic stem cell research has been a topic of controversy since the 1980’s when the practice started. Originally this type of research was banned by the federal government, but in 2009 Obama lifted the federal ban and allowed some funding. This type of research has not been accepted by American law or as a common convention. Stem cells have the ability to develop into many different types of cells such as nerve cells, cardiac cells, and liver cells and have regenerate to replace damaged cells. Stem
