The research of stem cell biology has introduced possibilities of cellular replacement strategies, which, if successful, could create effective treatments for diseases such as Parkinson's Disease and Diabetes (type 1), as well as repairs to severe spinal cord injuries that were previously untreatab...

Should Embryo Stem Cell Research Be Banned? This is one of the most controversial questions posed in the last century. The issue is simple. Should the federal government fund embryo stem cell research? The answer is extremely complex. At the heart of this controversy, is whether or not, i...

Before giving this assignment to work on I was 100 percent against stem cells research. But due to extension research I found out that stem cells can provide us with a myriad of possibilities in medical technology, but not without bringing with it serious moral and ethical dilemmas. F...

Have you ever come across someone suffering from Alzheimer's disease? What about Parkinson's disease? How about someone terminally ill with liver cancer who is unable to get a transplant? What if a potential breakthrough could solve these problems, but it is surrounded by controversy? One such br...

Cloning Is Not Too Bad After All Scientists spend their whole lives attempting to make the world a better place. Nevertheless, the evolution of science is not always appreciated due to misconceptions or simply a lack of accurate information. Human cloning is a prime example of this! "It&apo...

Stem Cell Research August 9th was a big day for our country and what the future will hold for stem cell research. "The U.S. conducts more than 90% of the world's biomedical research, with this decision to not fund all stem cell research we will most likely fall behind the world in this ...

Since the death of former President Ronald Regan, federal funding of embryonic stem cell research is a topic which continues to be present in our headlines. Some people feel that embryonic stem cells could produce a cure for the devastating disease of Alzheimer's. Nancy Reagan is now trying to infl...

Human Life Recently, there has been many discussion about the importance of studying embryonic stem cells. In the essay by Anna Quindlen "A New Look, An Old Battle." argues that "Stem-cell research is typically done by using frozen embryos left over from in vitro fertilizatio...

The recent death of Ronald Regan from Alzheimer's disease has generated an explosion in the field of stem cell research. Scientists wonder if stem cells implanted in Regan's brain could have helped improve the status of his Alzheimer's or even cure it. Stem cell research was brought to attention ...
