Stem Cell Research
I have decided to write my paper on one of the most controversial subjects in the United States for the past few years: Stem Cell Research. The problem with this topic is that it’s relatively new and many people don’t realize that stem cell research can eventually provide incurable diseases to be cured in the years to come. There are basically two different sides to this issue:
People who want to ultimately provide a cure for unsolvable medical issues
The other side of this issue is that other people believe that by using embryonic stem cells or adult stem cells for research is the same as murder, since many believe that the embryo is a living thing.
Many people opposed to the stem cell research believe it can only be achieved through the cells of someone who has just had an abortion, which is not true. I will explain this is my final paper. There are two extremely valuable properties that stem cells have, such as:
They can divide endlessly to produce more stem cells
They can transform themselves into any of the cells present in the human body, such as: skin cells, heart cells, liver cells etc.
There is a specific group of cells that is called the inner cell mass which contains approximately 30 cells and once this inner cell mass is transferred and the full process (which I will fully explain in my final paper) is done it will generate millions of cells that will fuse into the cells that are needed.
This is why researching the stem cells has the capability of curing many diseases in the long run. If scientists are doing the research and seeing results from them, then they should be able to use stem cells for this. It is not killing anyone, just saving and prolonging
