Stem Cell Research Persuasive Speech

Stem Cell research and its funding have caused a lot of controversy throughout the past years. Stem cells are cells that are present in all living organisms. These cells have the potential to grow into any type of cell, including blood cells, nerves, muscles, and pancreatic cells. Stem cell research is essential because of the beneficial aspects it has to offer. Stem cells could potentially treat conditions such as Alzheimer 's, Parkinson 's, birth defects, strokes, Diabetes, cancer, and help in the reconstruction of severely damaged organs. Although stem cell research withholds great potential for many medical advances, a lot of controversy surrounds the sources and methods of obtaining stem cells and the possibility of improper usage of the knowledge acquired from research and experimentation. It is necessary for scientist to continue research as well as recognizing any ethical issues that may be present.

Think for a moment. Imagine the cure for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, heart disease, spinal injuries and almost every other cruel disease being at the world’s fingertips, but no further research is being done to interpret the use of these treatments. The miracle cure for many terminal illnesses is embryonic stem cells, which are in theory nothing but a ball of around 100-150 cells, yet numerous countries across the world have made their use illegal because it is ‘unethical’.

The novel when the emperor was divine by Julia Otsuka shows the lives of a Japanese family during World War II, and the struggles they endure. These struggles were shared among many Japanese families in the U.S. during this time. The hardships this family faces change their personalities drastically and plays with there grasp on the real world.

STEM cell research according to scientists might be the key to saving lives due to organ failure, brain damage or even heart problems. The idea is stem cells provided by fetuses that have been aborted typically

In the play The Crucible there was a lot of round characters. A round character is a major character in a work of fiction that encounters conflict and is transformed by it. A round character that stuck out to me was Reverend Hale. Reverend Hale had obvious changes towards the court system as the play progressed.

Do the benefits of stem cell research and more specifically embryonic stem cell therapy outweigh the ethical controversies? Answer/Thesis Claim: Stem cell research and therapy is a promising field being held back by ethical issue. Stem cells are a regenerative medicine that can cure numerous diseases such as, cancer, diabetes, leukemia. The main ethical question society presents is, when does life start and what is ethical? The future of medicine and abolishment of diseases is being halted by ethical stigmas, once society accepts this form of regenerative medicine disease control and abolishment will be available.

Stem cells are basically the building blocks of life. Some type of these cells can be engineered into any type of cell in the human body. There are three types of stem cells currently. Adult or somatic stem “cells can generate replacements for bone and muscle cells that are lost through injury, disease or normal wear and tear.” Another type of stem cells are embryonic stem cells. Embryonic stem cells “are “starter cells” that can be coaxed into becoming any of the specialized cells of the body, meaning they are “pluripotent.” The final type of stem cells are induced-pluripotent stem cells. Induced pluripotent stem cells “are adult stem cells that have been genetically altered to behave like embryonic stem cells”(National Institute of Health). Due to the advancement in medical technology scientists and doctors alike are now able to use stem cells for a variety of reasons like research and also in patient care. The benefits of this research can lead to the cure of diseases like diabetes, some cancers, and even neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s Disease and spinal cord injuries. The controversy behind stem cells lie from where these stem cells come from. The source of stem cells are plentiful. Some stem cells can come from human embryos that are a few days old. Stem cells can also be engineered in a laboratory setting using the cells from human embryos. Also there are certain stem cells that can be harvested from adults and

Many, as of currently incurable diseases plague the Earth. Thanks to technological advancements and better understandings of cells, scientists believe that it may be possible to cure diseases by the use of embryonic stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are cells obtained from an embryo when they are only a few days old. Because they have only begun to differentiate, these cells have the capability of developing into any cell in the human body, and that's why they can be used for the progression of medicine. Scientists hope to cure some diseases but if that isn't possible they at least hope to create treatments using them.

Hello. So I would like to talk to you about life. What do you consider it? Is it valuable?

This research has a lot of risks, but the potential outcomes are spectacular. The production of embryonic stem cells could help so many people. People could theoretically be created new tissue for them to use if lost. The immune system, in theory, should not reject the new tissue, due to it being an exact copy. This has been a major concern when it comes to any kinds of transplants. This could resolve that issue and save many lives in the process.

On this journey, people have one job and that is to hypothesize, observe and conclude or reflect. That is the scientific method, one can only advance if they have understood. Stem cell research is the next stop. People have studied the far reaches of the galaxies and the depths of our ocean but we do not fully understand what is happening within our own body. There is a theory I have and that is what ever happens on the small scale, for example stem cells cloning, happens on the big scale, universes cloning. This research can help us understand how to heal ourselves when we are ill or injured, how to clone successfully and many more. It substitutes the need to research and test on animals or humans as well. This knowledge benefits us economically as less people would be ill saving money. Embryonic stem cells hold a mountain of knowledge, just waiting for us to

Lights, Camera, Action! Everybody knows and loves Noah and Allie. All you have to say is their names or quote one line, “If you’re a bird, I’m a bird,” and the shrieking girls go ‘OH MY GOD! I love the Notebook!’ The whole movie is about their love. Nobody who’s seen the movie would fail to know the names of these lead characters, but most of them could not tell you the name of Noah’s best friend or the name of Allies cousin whom she’s visiting. These characters are crucial to the story and an important part of these characters’ lives and back-ground for the movies purpose, but most people fail to see here significance. The same goes for a leader or leadership position. It’s easy to see the people in the spotlight, front and center, but it’s when you finally look in the shadows that you realize more is happening than what you saw at first glance.

"Thesis Statement" The United States government should fund stem cell research because this advance in medical research can create cures to life-threatening diseases. "Topic Sentence 1" Funding stem cell research will allow medical research to advance and create a new field of innovative medicine. "Explanation" People often argue how stem cells should be used due to ethical concern behind embryo use used as a reason for not being federally funded. This topic sentence will allow me to convince the government that funding stem cells wouldn’t be a negative impact on the general population.

Amy Scher was diagnosed with a debilitating disease that forms lesions in her brains. She traveled to India to undergo embryonic stem cell treatment. Three days after her surgery she was pleased to discover that the lesions on the left side of her brain were completely gone. This is why stem cell researchers should be allowed to use stem cells from aborted babies. Embryonic stem cell research has the potential to save the lives of several people and it should be allowed.

A: Ladies and Gentlemen; today is a big day in our Optic Clinic! The cramped room with damp patches on its walls, the old wet underground, so-called lab of Dr. Harrison has now turned into a labyrinth which owes its worldwide reputation to the efforts of this giant figure in the field of medicine.
