The article highlights the innuendos of President Bush\'s role in the lack of funding for stem cell research and the stiff limitations the field is plagued with. Whether or not you agree with all of the practices of stem cell research, the article is very informative of its uses. It outlines the ind...

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...

Stem Cell ResearchA stem cell could be the cure to many diseases once thought incurable. These microscopic cells have the potential to form almost any dead or damaged cell in the body. The controversy begins when the stem cells are gathered. In most cases, a human embryo must be killed to harvest th...

Embryonic Stem Cell Research Embryonic stem cell research is a major controversial issue that is, in fact, "oneof the most profound of our time" ("Bush Announces Position on Stem Cell Research"). Stem cells are essentially primordial cells of a human being which are capable ofbecoming all or...

Diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's are some of the most atrocious diseases that we know of. "A December poll commissioned by organizers showed that eighty- five percent of probable voters have a relative or close friend with one of these fiv...

Both the American public and the government should fully support stem cell research because of the potential cures to seemingly hopeless diseases that will be discovered. Though people may have some moral or ethical objections toward stem cell research, it does not out way the loads of precious liv...

Stem cell research has become a huge topic over the past few years. Stem cell research raises many questions amongst those who are not fully aware of the capabilities to stem cells can provide. The most recent issue in stem cell research has to do with President Bush. On August 9, 2001, the preside...

HUMAN CLONING What is life exactly? "Well life is the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living". Many have questioned whether human cloning is right or wrong. What is human cloning and stem cells? By taking a nucleus or DNA from a cell like ...

Summary In America, scientific research and technology are advancing every day. Scientists themselves have to read daily to learn the discoveries that have been revealed across the country. These new advances might be the missing link needed to find the cure for a major disease. For medical research...

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...

When describing what stem cells are, it can be quite challenging to explain, so I have quoted The National Institutes of Heath: \"Stem cells are cells that can divide for indefinite periods in culture and give rise to specialized cells. They are best described in the context of normal human developm...

There is a new hope for the world and it comes in the form of embryotic stem cells. These tiny little miracles are the hope for the future. Scientists say they expect that someday many incurable diseases will be cured by stem cells. These wonder cells will end the suffering of millions. One day i...

The stakes could not be higher: life and death, potential future cures or life-threatening disappointment. Stem cells could potentially result in treatments or cures for cancer, heart disease, diabetes and other diseases. However, leaders and legislators continue to place outdated and senseless rest...

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...

Brayson HooverR-39-22-01Stem CellsOver the past decade, genetic engineering has advanced into one of the most important branches of science. Thousands of hours of research have been spent studying and manipulating the DNA of cells to benefit human life. A few years ago, the main topic of discussio...

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...

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 ...

Stem Cell Research: Life On The Line By XXXXXXXXX For thousands of years, and generations upon generations, humans have faced decisions of life and death. Many times these decisions are based upon religion, superstition, and politics. Now we come to a junction in the social evolution of man,...

Chicago scientist Richard Seed announced a plan to begin cloning human beings at his clinic in January of 1998. In November 1998, the National Bioethics Advisory Commission began conducting a thorough review of the issues associated with human stem cell research, in the United States. The stem cell...

International Events Over the summer months of the year two thousand and one something extraordinary happened. An event that will have such an impact to change lives forever. No soul on earth thought that curing diseases such as Alzheimer and Parkinson's would ever be possible, until to...

The Linacre Center for Healthcare Ethics submitted a quite lengthy article, Stem Cell Research to the House of Lords Select Committee, in June of 2001. This article addressed the issue of human embryo cloning. The specific objective of this paper is to clarify and summarize the controversial debate ...

Human Cloning: Part A: Issues Introduction The issue I have chosen for this project is stem cell research and human cloning. I do not support this issue in any way. Each human life is unique and sacred unto itself. That human life becomes a human life at the second the sperm meets the egg. ...

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...

Imagine that you go to your doctor's office for a routine check-up. A few weeks later, he calls you to his office to inform you that you have been diagnosed with a rare, usually fatal type of cancer. As he describes your options for treatment, he tells you that your best hope lies in a therapy that ...

Forever is reallllllyyy long Modern science wants to achieve the impossible, life that never ends. This is a great idea to some but the ways that are proposed are downright insane. While most people are all for immortality I have a hard time volunteering when there exists so many flaws. If you ta...
