What are stem cells and what is gene therapy respectively? These are cells that have the potential to form many different types of cells found in the body. When stem cells divide‚ can form more stem cells or other cells that perform specialized functions. Embryonic stem cells have the potential to form a complete individual‚ while adult stem cells can only form certain types of specialized cells.

The false misconceptions surrounding stem cells is clouded by the idea that they are acquired through intentionally killing a life of a potential human being. These false statements facilitated by anti-abortion organizations has slowed down the progress that could have been achieved through science on a logical and ethnically driven basis. Embryonic stem cells should be used for medical research because they harness

Stem Cell Research Legislation For some time now‚ stem cell research has been a major issue when it comes to ethics. “Ethics‚ science and religion became further intertwined with politics in the 1990’s‚ increasing the battles among congress‚ administrations‚ and other agencies” (Scott‚ 2006‚ p.153). Stem cell research is probably one of the most important scientific advancements in the past one hundred years. Stem Cell research began in the 1800’s‚ with the discovery that some cells could actually

Stem cell research could be a scientific miracle‚ or it could be an unethical disaster. This debate between medical science and ethical judgment has been going on for years‚ and has recently become a major topic. Not too long ago‚ the stem cell research funding was cut off by President Bush. He explained his actions by stating‚ "If this bill would have become law‚ American taxpayers would‚ for the first time in our history‚ be compelled to fund the deliberate destruction of human embryos. And I’m

and Stem Cell Research Stem cell research is very controversial in today’s world. Although stem cell research has the potential for curing diseases and conditions‚ some people view stem cell research as unethical and immoral. People do not realize that there is hope for medical advancement today because medical specialists can use stem cell research to grow practically any cells needed for sick patients. Today‚ I am going to tell you what deontology is‚ how the school of thought views stem cell

Stem cell research represents a new opportunity for ethical thought and debate. Stem cells are primitive cells which have yet to specialize. Through proper coaxing‚ stem cells can be made to differentiate into usable body cells and eventually used for medical treatment. Though stem cell technology has been in development since the 1960’s‚ it was not until August of 2001‚ when then-president George W. Bush announced that federal funds could be allotted to embryonic stem cell research‚ that the
