Why should people consider Adult stem cells over of Embryonic stem cells? If a car’s tire gets punctured we use the spare tire to fix it. Imagine the Stem cells as the spare tires of human body. Basically stem cells are cells that can regenerate themselves into any organ or tissue. The Stem cells help us by curing any diseases and save lives. It will show the readers pros and cons about each stem cell. The purpose will be why people should consider Adult stem cell over Embryonic Stem cell. It will also describe how some of people still think that embryonic stem cells are better than Adults cells. It is very important to understand why Adults stem cells are better to use and they are not breaking any traditional values. Stem cell research…show more content…
To treat all the diseases with ES cells doctors takes cells and develops them into neurons. For treating the diseases with adult stem cells doctors gets cells from either the fetal or adult central nervous system (CNS). Adult stem cell and embryonic stem cells can treat brain, Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia, breast cancers and many more. (Lindvall and Kokaia). For treating Parkinson's disease with adult stem cells have to replace the cells that have died with other identical dopaminergic neurons (Euro Stem Cell). Even though scientists have not yet did any clinical trail because they need to understand the genetic make for the disease more to go further. Same with other diseases scientists think they can cure or treat them but they need to do more research on the disease to make sure nothing can go wrong. In near future cure for adult stem cells is more possible then the cure from ES cells. Because adult stem cells do not have that much restriction and government is not against it. On the other hand ES cells research have a long time before the scientists can start the clinical trials on humans and look for any good signs. Now days the Adult stem cells are already curing diseases like spinal cord injury as stated by Langwith, “Silvio had grade A spinal cord injury where there is no motor or sensory…show more content…
"Stem Cells for the Treatment of Neurological Disorders." Insight Progress 29 June 2006: 1-3. Print. This article is a compares and contrast between Embryonic Stem cells and Adult Stem cells treatment and cure. It tells some good difference between those two but it also has some bad effects too. The article has some good graphs and statistics that I can use. This article really shows us the break through that scientists did to cure many diseases. Mayo Clinic. Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, 2014. Web. 28 Apr. 2014. I will use this site for some facts because I think it is good source to know more about embryonic stem cell and Adult stem cell. I trust this site because it is government site and I believe all the information on this site is correct. It really tells in genral difference and similarities between both stem cells. It also tells what people think about each stem cell. Nichols, Jennifer, and Austin Smith. "The Origin and Identity of Embryonic Stem Cells." Development 138 (2011): 3-8. Print.
