The Different Types Of Stem Cell Research

Stem cell research has been quite a controversial topic since its origin in the 1960s by Gopal Das and Joseph Altman. Of course, anything that uses a human embryo would be. Stem cell research could open a vast number of new doors for modern science, it could let us test new drugs, one of which could be the unfound cure for AIDS or Alzheimer’s disease. However, this branch of science comes at a high price, the price of a human life that is only five to six days

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.

Without federal funding, it becomes very hard for medical facilities to continue studying embryonic stem cells.  Almost all of the men and women who we elected to represent us in office are God-fearing people, but not all of them are against the research.   The politicians who do not support the research are generally conservative, where as the ones who are in support of the stem cell research are mostly liberal.  For example, President Bush cut off the federal funding for stem cell research, but President Obama resumed the funding shortly after taking office.  Although, in late August of 2009 a federal judge declared that embryonic stem cell research was once again off limits for federal funding.  The reason for this was because Obama's action violated the previous 1996 Dickey-Wicker amendment which disallows funding for any procedure in which embryos are "created, destroyed, or discarded or knowingly subjected to risk of injury or death." In 1999, Harriet Rabb, counsel for the Department of Health and Human Services, determined that human embryonic stem cells that are derived from embryos are not the same as embryos and are therefore immune to the federal funding cuts.   A federal court said that this deciding question was whether or not an embryo was destroyed as a result of the

Stem cells have become a subject of much interest and debate in politics, the scientific

Stem cell research is a fairly controversial topic in the United States. Stem cells are cells that have the potential to become certain types of cells throughout a human body. There are a few types of stem cells, which are embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells, and induced pluripotent stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are the most controversial due to the manner from which they are obtained. Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent cells gathered from the inner cell mass of a blastocyst, which is an early-stage embryo that contains about 50-150 cells. However, the extraction of these cells causes the blastocyst to be destroyed, which is what raises many flags to people. The controversy of stem cell research began as early as 1996 when congress

There were two English groups that voyaged to the same destination, but yet they had various different rationales why they were traveling, however once reached their destination they had some of the same outcomes. This happened to the people of Jamestown and those of Plymouth Plantation. Both groups, traveled to the Americas, each with a designated leader with different characteristics, and once reached their destination they both encountered Native Americans. They both had a serious starvation period, however, the Puritans traveled for religious reasons, they wanted to be seen as the “City Upon a Hill.” The people guided by John Smith, on the other hand, wanted to gain money out of their stay in the Americas.

It is imperative that students who are planning to enter the medical field be well-informed about this issue so that they can begin to develop their own convictions about medical ethics, specifically regarding the stem cell debate. This report defines what stem cells, describes the different types of stem cell research and their potential role in disease therapy, and the presents the ethical controversy surrounding stem cell research.

The problem stem cells have is that they never stop dividing. When cells can't stop dividing there is a high risk of a tumor developing and eventually killing you. Also there is the problem with the law because you are takinh the stem cells from little embryos and that is probably taking a life.

When the topic of stem cell research, and/ or treatment, people generally automatically jump to the conclusion of embryonic stem cells, when in retrospect according to Eurostemcell.org, an organization based website that is dedicated to supplying the public with the latest news and information on stem cells. According to the article there a few different types of stem cells. The first type of stem cell is, embryonic. Embryonic stem cells are grown in a laboratory from embryos cells at an early stage. The second type of stem cell is tissue stem cells. Tissue stem cells are found in all different parts of the body. Lastly the third type of stem cell is, Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPS), or 'reprogrammed' stem cells. IPSC are similar to embryonic stem cells but they are from adult specialized cells.

On Friday, February 24th, President Donald Trump and his administration blocked media giants such as CNN, and the New York Times from a briefing with Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary. Ever since, his policies for dealing with the media have been under even closer examination than before. President Trump has had issue with the media before, accusing them of publishing false stories and painting him as the enemy. He has said on numerous occasions that the media twists stories in order to try and sell their audience on a story, basically using their opinion to sell their news. But President Trump is guilty of this himself. The majority of his Presidential campaign was just him using national television to spout his opinion on religion,

In recent years there has been lots of studying and scientific research regarding stem cells. Now there are people who wish to more widely implement it. I am arguing that stem cell research should be limited by the government because in many cases it is unethical and potentially dangerous. I will prove this by showing all of the ethical and moral standpoints, also the potential dangers with experimentation on humans.

Scientists need the opportunity for research and they have researched that stem cells can do a lot of things such as having the potential to treat many diseases. (Devitt 14)

EHR Interoperability is the ability of one computer system to communicate with another computer system. Example: When buying a cell phone with a plan. Level zero would be only one phone but with level 3 it would be 3 phones. They would all share the same data plan and be able to communicate with each other. It benefits the patient because they can have access to their medical records without going to the doctor’s office. It also benefits the providers because they don’t have to make phone calls to other offices or track down information they need when its available in the EHR.

Scientists are interested in stem cells for their ability to become any type of cell in the body, a process called differentiation. Theoretically, this allows for limitless possibilities in disease

Embryonic stem cell research is already proving useful in the study of regenerative medicine, human development, cellular responses to disease, drug testing, and many other fields. This is just the tip of the iceberg. There is still much more to be discovered and created using the research platform this stem cell research provides. Although opponents argue it to be unnecessary, it is clearly important because embryonic stem cells are the most pluripotent stem cells, and all stem cells are required for the full potential of research. Embryonic stem cell research can also be justified, because the embryos come from sources where they would otherwise be destroyed, but they are instead contributing to the advancement of medicine and science. Finally, and notably, this field is supported, and is clearly leading to a new future of science and research. This research is important to everybody because it is creating and will continue to create cures, medicines, and therapies. Any person could be struck by a disease or ailment unexpectedly, and the more research scientists are able to do with a variety of options means that person may not have to experience discomfort or pain for long. This research is helping reduce or eliminate fatal disorders as well, meaning that it could possibly save a loved one’s life, if they struggle with a terminal illness. In these ways, embryonic stem cell research continues to be an issue that affects, and should be understood by, everybody. Embryonic stem cell research, though controversial, is a field so valuable and with so much potential that it is important to contribute
