Stem Cells and the Future of Developmental Medicine Stem cells have a remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth. Stem cells undergo processes to form new types of cells which can have a specialized function. According to this function, lives could be saved by the formation of new tissues and organs. Some of the specialized cells are muscle cells, brain cells or blood cells. Although stem cell research is debatable due to moral concerns

patients who have gone through with DBS. In a report published by Greenburg (2008), 61.5% of 26 patients were considered responders to the treatment. Deep brain stimulation is seen as a controversial method of treatment and definitely requires more research. Deep brain stimulation is a surgical treatment used to minimize tremor and to stop involuntary motion, commonly used for patients with motion disorders as well as OCD. Electrodes are placed in certain areas of

the ownership of cells once they are removed. Do we own our bodily cells; or the doctors who extracted them? Many people believe that the cells belong to the bodies they came out of, but is it okay for the doctors to put patents on our cells without our complete knowledge? I believe that the ownership of the cells and anything propitious that comes of the cells belongs to the patient that had them removed. I also believe that the doctors that assisted in the removal of such cells should have a share

Stem cell research is a never ending argument based on saving a life versus taking a life. This subject has been debated from the school house to the church house. Millions of families are affected by different diseases that are common and rare and the common denominator is there is no cure. Stem cells through argument of science can cure diseases or help heal individuals who suffer from debilitating conditions such as spinal cord injuries, strokes, heart conditions, and burns to name a few.

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

medical breakthroughs that have been made possible with the technology behind Human Cloning. Embryonic stem cells can be grown to produce organs or tissues to repair or replace damaged ones. This could not only lead to the discovery of how to turn cancer cells off and on, thus finding a cure for cancer but also help in producing skin for burn victims, brain cells for the brain damaged, spinal cord cells for quadriplegics and paraplegics, hearts, lungs, livers, and kidneys. By combining this technology
