Stem cells themselves are not controversial. There are different types of stem cells. Hematopoietic stem cells are the building blocks of blood. They are found in bone marrow and umbilical cord blood. They are currently used successfully to treat a number of different diseases. These are not controversial at all. Embryonic stem cells are controversial because they are obtained from embryos. Some people believe that using embryos to produce stem cells is unethical.
The 'embryos' the anti-stem cell voice talk about contain about 75 - 200 cells, and are known as blastocytes. The cells are undifferentiated, meaning they as yet have no purpose. The Pro-Life movement refer to this collection of cells as a human being about 2-4 days after fertilization.
Blastocytes are the best source of undifferentiated stem cells, and those used would be the excess discarded after IVF. They would generally be destroyed - why not use them to save human life? For Pro-Life- destroy these 'embryos' or use them to save life? Please explain your stance!
What else can I help you with?
If a cell has pairs of homologous chromosomes, what process is likely occurring within the cell?
If a cell has pairs of homologous chromosomes, the process likely occurring within the cell is meiosis.
If you are conducting research about how scientists study cells what would be the best source to consult?
A good source to consult would be scientific journals focused on cell biology, such as Nature Cell Biology, Cell Stem Cell, or Journal of Cell Science. These journals publish peer-reviewed research articles that detail the methods and findings of studies on cells.
A cell having a precise unchanging shape is likely?
A plant cell, as it has a rigid cell wall that helps maintain its shape.
Why are immortal cell lines important for biological research?
Immortal cell lines are important for biological research because they can be continuously grown in culture, providing a stable and consistent source of cells for experiments. This allows researchers to study cell behavior over time and conduct numerous experiments without the need for constantly obtaining new cells. Immortal cell lines also offer a valuable model for understanding diseases, drug testing, and basic cell biology research.
A particular cell has half as much DNA as some of the other cells in a mititically active tissue. the in cell in question is most likely in?
The cell is most likely in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. During G1 phase, the cell prepares for DNA replication in the S phase. Cells with half the amount of DNA compared to others have likely already undergone DNA replication and are in the early stages of the cell cycle.
How might stem cell research impact world economy?
Stem Cell Research is very controversial in today's society. Stem Cell Research is known to help people with many illnesses, the research will help the economy stay steady as far as health and medicine, because people will be looking for and willing to pay for help.Ê
What are two ways that technology may address the ethical concerns related to stem cell research?
Human embryonic stem cell research is controversial because the arguments for it andsagainst it both involve ethical issues of life and death.
Is stem cell research legal?
Stem cell research is legal in the United States, Finland, Greece, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. It's illegal in Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, and Ireland. It remains a highly controversial subject.
What belief has made stem cell research controversial?
Stem cell research has been controversial primarily due to ethical concerns surrounding the use of human embryos. Many opponents argue that life begins at conception, and therefore, using embryos for research equates to taking a human life. This belief invokes strong moral and religious sentiments, leading to significant debate over the implications of such research for human rights and the definition of personhood. As a result, the field has faced varying levels of regulation and funding restrictions in different countries.
How do you say embryonic stem cell research in Spanish?
Investigación de células madre embrionarias. I've been reading about stem cells, the controversial topics are the most interesting.
When was Experimental Cell Research created?
Experimental Cell Research was created in 1950.
What do you think is the reason why some people are against stem cell research?
The primary reason and most important reason is that some people are scientifically illiterate. They don't understand the science behind the research and they do not have even the basic education to begin to understand it. They don't even try to understand it and they let others try to explain it to them but those people often have some sort of agenda. Science itself is not good or bad, it is what is done with it. If all of society doesn't what to use this knowledge, a least we all have made the decision not just a handful. There are two methods of stem cell research. 1. Embryonic stem cell and 2. Adult stem cell. There is not somuch opposition of manipulating the stem cells from adult cells. On the other hand, Embryonic stem cell research involves the value of life. Thus the main issue for embryonic stem cell research is whether potential embryonic life should be treated with honor and human dignity. Which itself is only a religious viewpoint and not science fact.
Is stem cell research a safe idea?
If you ask ten people this question you will get ten different answers on the subject. This is a very controversial area. There is much information to be found on stem cell research. Depending on which resource that you use some say that it is safe and some are totally against it. It seems that people are either totally for it (think its safe) or people are totally against it (not safe).
Are constitutionalists against stem cell research?
Constitutionalists just stemmed cell research? Nonsense.
When was OrthoCAD Network Research Cell created?
OrthoCAD Network Research Cell was created in 2007.
What current areas of scientific research are controversial?
Stem cell research is very controversal currently in America. The CERN Particle accelerator which is studying quantum particles is also controversal due to experimenting with the unknown and what some people think could be the consequences of their research (such as forming a black hole). Genetic engineering and gene screening of embryos are also controversal.
Why is the use of embryonic stem cell controversial?
Pene grande
