Restrictions on embryonic stem cells (ESC) research should be lifted around the world because the research has made tremendous progress to cure multiple diseases, aid in the recovery of spinal injury, and human ESC being used by scientist were going to be discarded. ESC research restrictions should be lifted as long as obtaining the ESC does not harm the female carrying the embryos. Joannides and Chandran explain that despite ESC’s ability to reproduce into any cell that is needed, Scientists cannot use ESC as a “one size fits all” for every cell type and expect miracles. The ESC cells must be “custom made” into
The cost of obtaining embryonic stem cells is unethical since it involves the inevitable destruction of human lives. Human embryos deserve respect as a form of human life and there is no justifiable reason to venture on the route of murder. "The human embryo is the weakest and least advantaged of our fellow human beings. No community is really strong if it will not carry its weakest members (Bourzac)." Banning embryonic stem cell research would give life a chance to happen since frozen embryos in labs could be implanted into a woman's uterus and become a child at any time.
She argues that cloning is, "an unprecedented advance in medical research" and should be used to its full potential. The author uses logos and ethos combined with a distinct lack of pathos to make the argument that human cloning should be researched and used as an aid for medical issues. The article is roughly directed at the scientific community, but is mostly written in hopes of persuading those of the general public that have an interest in the subject to look at cloning and stem cell research more logically. Eddon begins the article by explaining the benefits of investing in cloning research, which include more effective treatments for medical issues and a variety of options to reproductive problems. The article immediately begins its appeal to logic.
Conflicts of Altruism to Profit Lora Ririe Biology Abstract Altruism and profit are two forces that deeply influence research. As can been seen with the HeLa cells, the research began as an altruistic project but then progressed to a profit gaining product. If all scientific experiments and research were conducted for profit, immorality would occur. On the other hand, if all research was based on altruism, hardly any progress in the scientific field would be made due to lack of funding and protests. However, the risks of profit lead research can be seen in Southam’s experimentations and skin cream products today.
Scientists now have evidence that stem cells exist in the brain and the heart. If the differentiation of adult stem cells can be controlled in the laboratory, these cells may become the basis of transplantation-based therapies. It is because of Reeve that spinal cord injuries and stem cell research are so widely discussed, according to Smith. The fact that it happened to Reeve showed it can affect anyone, even Superman. Reeve did not live long enough to see whether stem cell research could help restore movement to the paralyzed.
The reason he gave me was that each time the disease comes back it will be harder to treat then before and with this procedures it would wipe it out altogether and I would not have to worry about the disease ever coming back. I was very skeptical about the procedure because my initial thought was “what if it doesn’t work for me”, the first treatment I had for the disease cures about 70% of the patient and I ended up being one of the 30% it did not cure. The procedures were to take my stem cells and blast the cell with the strongest chemo medications, freeze them and later inject the cells back into my body. I would be in the hospital for three weeks and after being release I was not suppose to interact with people unless I was wearing a mask. To make a long story short I decided to have the procedure
In this interview I learned what embryonic stem cells are, where do they come from, what are they used for, and why they mainly excite scientists versus adult stem cells. I also asked whether my uncle was in favor or opposed embryonic stem cell research. According to my uncle, “I support embryonic stem cell research because it has got so much promise. Damaged tissues cause so many diseases. Cells that can
I’m here to say that it should be allowed, so that more people like me can be cured. It’s a great advancement for medicine. Other people out there with other diseases that can’t be cured have a better chance of living a normal life. The ban that the Congress put on embryonic stem cell research states, no federal government
Clinically, the most frequent manifestations are alterations of the skin pigmentation, iris Lisch nodules, and multiple benign neurofibromas. Whilst there is no known cure for the condition research is looking promising with the use of genetically engineered mouse models of NF1to discover possible therapeutic drug designs for people suffering from this
The scientific world is always trying to come up with ways to extend life and the quality of it. Technology has come up with a drug designed to slow down the process of death and the loss of brain function. The theory is if brain function can be preserved the drug will give the doctors more time to get the heart started again or perform other lifesaving procedures. This brings up the question “How do the doctors know when it is too late? “ This then becomes an ethical quagmire, where few doctors will fear to
