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.

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.

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.

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.

Where could you get a complete information about Stem Cells?

You can find comprehensive information about stem cells from reputable sources such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR), and scientific journals like Nature and Cell Stem Cell. Additionally, academic institutions and research organizations often have dedicated websites or publications that provide detailed information on stem cell research and its applications.


Should stem cell technology be controlled by the government?
