Ever since human stem cells were first isolated, research on stem cells has received much public attention, both because of its extraordinary promise and because of relevant legal and ethical issues. Stem cells are self-renewing, unspecialized cells that can give rise to multiple types all of spec...

Treating Disease with Stem Cells This article was written by Dr. Gregory Hale, professor of Pediatrics at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine, in response to questions posed by Scientific American Magazine regarding the treatment of certain diseases with cord blood stem cells. Ther...

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...

Stem cells look like a hollow sphere composed of a clump of tiny, roundish balls. In reality, they are much more than that. Forty cells contain all the potential to become a living, breathing human being. Many scientists believe that these cells also can cure a myriad of diseases, including Alzheim...

There are many scientific benefits to cloning. Cloning is defined as the making of a precise copy of a molecule, cell, or individual plan or animal. The scientific benefits of cloning are endless and know no boundaries. The reason that it knows no boundaries is because not all forms of cloning a...

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 ...

What is our world really coming to? It is predicted that somewhere in the future we are going to be able to construct the perfect child with no defects and no disabilities. We will be able to predict what diseases they will contract in their life and what type of person they are going to be and the ...

Cloning A clone is a cell, group of cells, or organism that is descended from and genetically identical to a single ancestor. Or to look at in another view, a clone is a copy, an organism descended asexually form a single ancestor. There are different types of cloning however, and cloning tec...

Cloning is not an easy task, but because of such a growth in research it is worth the difficulties to carry out such an experiment. Cloning is based on nuclear transfer, which involve the use of two cells, the same technique scientists have used for some years to copy animals from embryonic cells. ...
