Nothing has been definitively cured yet, mainly due to the ban that a lot of governments (America's included until recently) had on using embryonic stem cells to do research. Now that the ban has been lifted, there are sure to be a LOT of cures heading our way. Scientists are hopeful that they will be able to cure diseases such as Diabetes and Parkinson's, as well as help victims with spinal cord injuries. The future of stem cell research is going to be very exciting.

What two way can embryonic stem cells can cure diseases?

Embryonic stem cells can cure diseases by differentiating into specialized cell types, allowing for the regeneration of damaged tissues and organs, such as nerve cells for spinal cord injuries or insulin-producing cells for diabetes. Additionally, they can be used in research to model diseases, test drug responses, and develop targeted therapies, ultimately leading to more effective treatments.


Why should you preserve stem cells?

stem cells are undifferentiated cells that can differentiate in to all cell types. they are of two types: 1) Embryonic stem cells ( totipotent cells) they can differentiate in to any type of cells in our body.. 2) adult stem cells ( multipotent cells) they can be differentiated into only one type of cell from which it is derived from. They are used mostly in organ and tissue transplantation. mostly used in medicinal field to cure diseases now adays.


What are some global opinions that support the use of embryonic stem cells use?

Some global opinions supporting the use of embryonic stem cells stem from their potential to treat various diseases and conditions, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and spinal cord injuries. Additionally, proponents argue that the research on embryonic stem cells can lead to medical advancements and better understanding of human development. Many believe that the benefits of using embryonic stem cells in research and therapy outweigh ethical concerns.


How many diseases can stem cells cure?

Stem cells have shown promise in treating a variety of diseases, but the number of diseases they can cure is still evolving. Some conditions that stem cell therapies have shown potential for include blood disorders, certain types of cancer, spinal cord injuries, and autoimmune diseases. Research in this area is ongoing to determine the full extent of their therapeutic applications.


Are embryonic stem cells being used to treat diseases?

There is research being done and tests being run, nothing has yet confirmed that they have actually successfully used the procedure to cure any real disease yet. There is massive discussions about this and there has not been evidence of any further procedures to happen.

Could embryonic stem cells help people with some diseases?

they can cure human diseases but the question is should we use them.


How are embryonic cells and adult stem cells alike?

Both of them are effective and can cure life-threatening diseases like leukemia and other forms of cancers. The big difference is there is a need to kill an embryo to harvest its stem cells, which is unacceptable, while adult stem cells can be harvested from a newborn's umbilical cord and bone marrow.

Why do researches prefer to use embryonic stem cells instead of adult?

Because the (human) embryos are frozen and they are readily available and will be destroyed if not implanted in a womb of a potential mother. Unfortunately, people see the frozen embryonic cell as an opportunity to do science. Some researchers feel that throwing out frozen embryonic cells is a waste. A scientist goal is to improve the value of human life by finding a value in the human embryonic cell. It would be like using a person, without permission, to make another person either get better or live longer. The moral problem is that it takes the life of another human to gain the advantage for a supposedly superior being. Another reason is because of the promise of embryonic stem cells is just to consuming to a research scientist. They can make a lot of money, and cure some serious diseases by using the embryonic stem cell. Another reason is that the federal funds to do the research have been available since 2008. If the government sponsors this type of research, then more scientists will use the government (USA) money to keep their projects funded. It is important to know that even though initial tests in embryonic stem cells looked promising, more can also be done with adult stem cells, without harming the potential for human life. Also, so called hybrid-stem cells that can be reverted back to stem cell status from an adult stem cell has made big progress in 2011-12. Both hybrid and adult stem cell research can be done without hurting the potential for life.

When has stem cells been used to cure someone?

Stem cells have been used in various medical treatments to cure diseases and conditions such as leukemia, lymphoma, and certain genetic disorders. One notable example is bone marrow transplants, where stem cells are used to replace damaged or diseased cells in the bone marrow. Additionally, stem cell therapies have shown promise in regenerating damaged tissues and organs in conditions such as spinal cord injuries and heart disease. Overall, stem cell therapy continues to be a rapidly evolving field with ongoing research and clinical applications.
