and healing purposes, but the long fought battle over the abortion of embryos and the subsequent harvesting of their stem cells might be placated. Stem Cell Research Paper Since their discovery, the ethics of human embryonic stem cells have been debated. As the ongoing controversy over human embryonic stem cells persists, we continue to look for alternative means of acquiring similar task-performing cells. Margaret Goodell was one of the first to propose extracting stem cells from other sources,

different types of cell in the body during early life and growth. These serve as a repair system by dividing themselves without any limits to replace other cells, such as muscle cells, red blood cells and brain cells. One of the most potential uses of human Stem Cells would be to replace the necessity of organ donation, which nowadays the demand is very high. These cells can replace specific cells type and renew tissue to help cure Alzheimer’s decease, spinal cord injury, stroke, burns, heart decease

mouse embryos; however, it wasn’t until 1998 that scientists discovered how to originate human stem cells from embryos and cultivate them in a lab. (U.S. Department, 2009) President Barak Obama signed Executive Order 135005, “Removing Barriers to Responsible Scientific Research Involving Human Stem Cells,” on March 9, 2009.
