What else can I help you with?
Is using embryonic stem cells for research legally considered murder?
Using embryonic stem cells for research is not murder.
What would you say to some that supports embryonic stem cells?
Using embryonic stem cells is unethical for many people, especially if they were only created for stem cell research.
What type of cell are stem stem cell described as?
Stem cells are considered as undifferentiated cells. They will divide and divide forming more stem cells. The two main stem cell types are embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. Only the embryonic stem cells can become any type of tissue. Embryonic stem cells have the potential to become any type of cell in the body. There is news as of 2015 that perhaps blindness can be cured using these embryonic stem cells.
What is the major issue involving the harvesting of embryonic stem cells?
The major issue involving the harvesting of embryonic stem cells is ethical concerns surrounding the destruction of embryos in the process. Critics argue that this raises ethical questions about the sanctity of human life and the moral status of the embryo. This has led to various regulations and debates on the ethical implications of using embryonic stem cells for research and medical purposes.
List one advantage of using adult stem cells and one advantage of using embryonic stem cells?
Adult stem cells are useful when you want to make cells of the same tissue, as there is not much controversy about using them. Embryonic stem cells however are amazing as in the first few cell divisions they can turn into any type of cell, even a whole organ! However there is lots of ethical issues surrounding the use of these.
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.
Can embryonic stem cells or adult stem cells be used to treat someone's Degenerative Disc Disorder?
Embryonic stem cells have the ability to differentiate into any cell type, including those that make up intervertebral discs. However, due to ethical concerns and potential risks, research on using embryonic stem cells is limited. Adult stem cells, like mesenchymal stem cells, show promise in regenerative therapies for degenerative disc disorder by promoting tissue repair and regeneration. Clinical trials are ongoing to explore the potential of adult stem cells in treating this condition.
Why is there controversy about using embryonic stem cells?
Pene grande
What type of stem cells is more useful according to most scientists?
Totipotent
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.
What are 2 sources of stem cells and the advantages and diadvantage's associated with using each?
Two sources of stem cells are embryonic stem cells and adult (or somatic) stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are derived from early-stage embryos and can differentiate into any cell type, offering vast potential for research and therapy; however, their use raises ethical concerns regarding the destruction of embryos. Adult stem cells, found in tissues like bone marrow, are more ethically acceptable and have a lower risk of tumor formation, but they are limited in their differentiation potential and are often harder to isolate and expand in culture compared to embryonic stem cells.
Does everybody in favor in the stem cell?
There are people for and against using embryonic stem cells. People against embryonic stem cell use feel that an embryo is a person and can not be used for science. People for embryonic stem cell use feel that the embryo does not qualify as a human as it doesn't get past a basic division of cells, and it would be better to use it for science than discard from a fertility clinic, etc. Science is currently working on a way to bypass embryonic cell use in order to find the cure without the controversy.
