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...

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...

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...

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 ...

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...

Stem cells are primitive types of cells in the body that can develop into 220 other types of cells, such as, red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, etc. Stem cells can be extracted from very young embryos and researched to hopefully effectively treat or cure life threatening diseases. Us...

This article talks about stem cell research. Stem cells are cells that have not yet been assigned to anything. In stem cell research, they make cells, then they can assign them to be a cell for a certain thing like skin cells, or nerve cells, or maybe even brain cells. In this article, it talks abou...

Cloning Is cloning ethical? the majority of the world would say no but the medical research possibilities associated with it are endless. In 1997 when Dolly the lamb was born we began to think, wow if it's possible to clone an animal, why not a human in the future? It soon became known that it was p...
