Stell cell research is broken up into a few parts, embryonic stem cell research which is the controversial one in which they take the cells of an embryo resulting in its death, adult stem cell research, in which scientists would take the cells of a human being (difference between embryonic and adult stem cell researches is that adult stem cell research is when cells are taken anytime after birth). Finally, there is another type of stem cell research called induced pluripotent stem cell research where they, in simple terms, genetically reprogram cells to be other types of cells. This does not involve the death of an embryo. The difference in these types is that embryonic can produce many types of cells, adult produces only a few, and induced pluripotent does the same as embryonic.
This research could affect the community in that we would be able regenerate types of cells that otherwise would not be able to such as brain and heart cells. This would be beneficial because this would possibly allow the cure to diseases and health issues that they're currently is no cure for, an example being Alzheimer's (spelling?). This could lead to longer life spans possibly (after much research and time) close to what we consider eternal life, with obviously replacing cells repeatedly which would be very costly to a bank account.
Some opponents of stem cell research fear that it could have negative effects on the community. Human cloning is a theoretical possibility of stem cell research that could have big impacts on the way we view one another. Another criticism is the source of stem cells, of which certain types cause the death of an embryo. Anti-abortionists believe that this murder.

A collection of living matter enclosed by a barrier that separates it from the surroundings?
a cell This could be a cell, but it could also be a specimen. The question is not sufficiently definite.
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.
What would happen to a cell if its lysosomes ruptured?
Well since lysosomes contain digestive materials meaning there highly acidic, I'm guessing it would affect the other [arts of the cell.
What constitutes an outline?
A research paper outline constitutes of a thesis statement and list of the various sections in the paper. Here is an example of research paper outline THESIS: The extraction of embryonic stem cells occurs at a stage where the embryo has not developed all the features necessitating its classification as a complete organism. 1. Introduction 2. Opponents of stem cell research 3. Proponents of stem cell research 4. Conclusion
What is involved in research?
Cellular research is a very broad branch of science. In general terms, scientists use cellular research to understand the various biological processes of the cell on a molecular level. This allows for advances in medicine, as well as other scientific progress.
How do cell phones affect people today?
they could use their cell phones to cheat on a test
Is it a possibility that stem cell research can cure hiv?
Research is being done to see whether or not the promising results of stem cell research in other medical areas could be applied to the treatment of curing of HIV.
What are three most prevalent chronic diseases that affect the African American community?
Several chronic diseases affect the African-American community. They include sickle cell anemia, and other diseases such as hepatitis, flu, mumps, and measles.
Could a small electromagnetic field affect only one cell alone?
Typically organic cells are not affected by normal electromagnetic fields, since they are not conductive. However, any small field could affect a single cell if the single cell were in the field. The effect, however would probably not be able to be measured, whatever it might be. There is ongoing, and some newly initiated research, designed to answer this question. It will take some time before this question can be answered comprehensively.
Which answer best explains why certain patterns of chemical modifications of histone proteins could influence whether a cell became a muscle cell or a brain cell?
They could affect which sets of genes are transcribed in different cell types.
Do politics affect the scientific community thought bias?
In some ways. However, the scientific methodology of replicating experiments, etc. helps prevent falsehoods. Eventually truth will out. Current issues of climatology, stem cell research will eventually be regarded as true, rather than hypothetical.
When was Experimental Cell Research created?
Experimental Cell Research was created in 1950.
Do constitutionalists support stem cell research?
The constitution does not limit such activity - so a constitutionalist could certainly/potentially support stem cell research. Although, as a whole, being a constitutionalist would probably have little to do with this decision.
What invention was necessary before cell could be discovered?
i need this for science class!!!!!!!!!! If you do a bit of research, you will find that the answer is "THE MICROSCOPE". Look it up and see who invented it. Research is fun.
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.
Would a reduce of red blood cell affect us?
It could cause leukemia, the cancer of blood.
