The Ethicality of Stem Cell Research
The Ethicality of Stem Cell Research Stem Cells and stem cell research alike are both a daunting and complex subject to the uninformed. The average American hears of the issue on a daily basis it seems – primarily the strife instigated by institutions with a “revivified” bioethical code. Yet, the average citizen has no idea, or any valid conception of what encompasses the study, or the true use of the cells themselves. Ask a person

Is Stem Cell Research Ethical?
Ethics Behind Stem Cell Research. Is Stem Cell Research ethical? Yes, it is. An embryo which is four or five days old, from which stem cells are derived, is not a human being yet, because it’s brain is nonfunctional and it’s heart is not beating. So destroying it would not be murder, it’s just a beginning of a long process of obtaining stem cells from it. Ronald Reagan, The Ethics Committee of the American Society

Embryonic Stem Cell Research
“According to the President's Council on Bioethics (P.C.B.E.), the term stem cells refers to diverse group of remarkable multipotent cells. While stem cells are relatively undifferentiated and unspecialized, they can and do give rise to the differentiated and specialized cells of the body (for example, liver cells, kidney cells, brain cells). All specialized cells arise originally from stem cells, and ultimately from a small number of embryonic cells that appear during the first few days

Stem Cell Research Controversies
Stem cells are "blank" cells that have the potential to develop into any type of cell in the body -- nerve cells, heart cells, kidney cells. Scientists are trying to harvest the cells before they have differentiated, then coax them into becoming certain types. If they could grow cardiac cells, for instance, scientists one day might be able to replace damaged heart tissue in someone who has had a heart attack. By growing nerve
