During the election there were many issues debated between President Bush and Senator John Kerry. One of the most controversial was stem cell research. Both candidates felt strongly about their opinions. The voter was asked to choose between the two positions. However, when voters were asked about w...

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...

Experimental Treatments for Humans Scientists are always trying to find new ways to help cure humans of problems like cancer, or disease. Experiments are the most common way to try and find if a new treatment works. Many times new treatments are tested on animals before humans. After these are...

What are Stem Cells and what are the aims of Stem Cell research?Stem cells are un-programmed cells in the human body that can be described as "shape shifters." These cells have the ability to change into other types of cells. Stem cells are at the center of a new field of science called regenerative...

There are several important reasons why the isolation of human pluripotent stem cells are important to science and to advances in health care. At the most fundamental level, pluripotent stem cells (cells which have the potential to differentiate into any type of human tissue) can help us to underst...

Scientists have been now using stem cells for various reasons. The ones I am going to talk about today are cloning and reproducing cells to heal people. The stem cells are taken from mostly aborted babies. The aborted babies cannot speak so the do not need to give permission. they are...

Picture a world in which people are no longer living with devastating diseases and disorders like Partisans Disease, Diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease. That can be the case if barriers that now engulf stem cell research can be removed. Stem Cell research is by no means, a recent medical breakth...

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 ...

Stem Cell Research (SCR) is a new beginning in many more cures for deadly diseases. It has cells that have the capacity to become any of the 200 cells in the human body. Stem cells are classified as an undifferentiated cell from which specialized cells are developed. Stem cells can help prevent or ...

Twenty years ago, scientists only theorized that they could modify living organisms. However, what was once only science fiction is becoming today\'s reality. Genetic Engineering can always be an advantage to someone. Jeremy Rifkin, president of the Foundation on Economic Trends, stated that \"not t...
