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.
Where do scientists get embryonic stem cells?
Embryonic stem cells are typically obtained from excess embryos created during in vitro fertilization procedures with informed consent from the donors. These embryos are usually donated for research purposes and are not created for the sole purpose of harvesting stem cells.
What is cloning to produce embryonic stem cells called?
Cloning to produce embryonic stem cells is called therapeutic cloning. This process involves creating a clone of a donor’s cells to generate embryonic stem cells that can be used for medical research and potential treatments.
Why do researchers prefer to use embryonic stem cell stem cells instead of adult stem cells?
embryonic stem cells can differentiate into more types of cells
How are stem cells trnsplanted?
Stem cells are cells that have not specialised. Specialist cells can only be the one thing that they are specialised for; ie, you cannot turn skin cells into a heart, or liver cells into a brain. Stem cells have not specialised and can therefore become any type of cell. I am not sure how they are stimulated to become one kind or another, but they can. Adult stem cells are not as good as embryonic stem cells, but because harvesting embryonic stem cells requires the destruction of a human embryo it is banned in many countries.
Why do cell researchers prefer to use embryonic stem cells instead of adult stem cells?
embryonic stem cells can differentiate into more types of cells
How are adult body cells differ from embryonic stem cells?
adult body cells have a function where as embryonic stem cells have no set function as of that stage. now there are some adult stem cells and those have little to no difference than embryonic stem cells
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.
Why do researchers prefer to use embryonic stem cell research instead of adult stem cells?
embryonic stem cells can differentiate into more types of cells
For in the use of embryonic stem cells?
Embryonic stem cells are used to treat a variety of diseases. Stem cells also help organs and tissues repair themselves.
What makes embryonic stem useful for medicine?
They can become more cells than adult stem cells can.
Is using embryonic stem cells for research legally considered murder?
Using embryonic stem cells for research is not murder.
