Paul, Bronson's page

What is stem cell research? Stem cell research is taking the cells from an unborn baby that havn't developed yet and genetically modifying the cells to turn them into any part of the human body. These cells can come from 3 places, the can come straight from the embryo, they can come from the umbylical cord (which has the most nutritious stem cells) and adult cells which aren't stem cells but they can be used for what they already are. There are two methods to embryonic stem cell research, one way is to have a miscairage (as the cells remain active for a certain time after death) and they keep the cells or a mother may choose to have an abortion.

Cons There are two main concerns involving stem cell research .How the knowledge will be used .The method .If you get an embryonic stem cell transplant you must take drugs for the rest of your life to prevent rejection of the organ. .Embryonic stem cell research may produce tumors from rapid growth when injected into adult patients. .Stem cell research may not be the solution to all illnesses. .Some heart disease patients who have used scr (stem cell research) have wound up with narrower arteries.

pros
THE PROS ARE. **disease that stem cells can treat** Parkinsons disease Alzheimers disease Heart disease, stroke and diabets type one Birth defects Spineinal cord injuries Replace or repair damaged organs Reduce risk of transplantation use could possible get a copy of your own heart in a heart transplantation in the future Stem cells may play a major role in cancer
 * That it can save peoples lives
 * if they keep on going with research they might find a cure to cancer
 * replace limbs
 * cure so many disease

The controversy on stem cell research
The controversy on stem cell research is from the destruction of the fertilized eggg when harvesting embryonic stem cell,therefore killing the human child that the egg could have developed into.currently, scientists and researchers ar only using embryos that unwanted andand would already not be given an opportunity to develop into a human being. on the other hand, the use of adult stem cells is less controverial, because it does not kill human or potential human life. however, adult stem cell research is significantly behind embryonic stem cell research because of availability and versatility of adult stem cells.

Many conservative, especially politicians, are trying to make embryonic stem cell research illegal.

What the church think
ther is no controversy about stem cell research involving all of these types of stem cells.in fact the cathotic church has public supported adult and unbilical cord stem cell research, and church leader, were among the first to apploud the discovery of amniotic stem cells and to call for further research.

What scientist think
Embryonic stem cells thought by most scientists and researchers to hold the potencial cure spineinal cord injuries, Multiple sclerorsis diabates,parkinsons disease, cancer,alzheimers disease, heat disease, hundreds of rare immune system and genetic disorders and much more. "...research involving human pluripotent stem cells...promises new treatments and possible cures for many debilitating diseases and injuries, including Parkinson's disease, diabetes, heart disease, multiple sclerosis, burns and spinal cord injuries.

Richard Arvedon The Student Society for Stem Cell Research is a glorious opportunity to engage America's youth leadership in a cause which will change the world. Stem cell research offers the hope of cure for disease and disability affecting millions. The SSSCR encourages students to make a positive difference for everyone.

there are camps for adult stem cells and embryonic stem cells. but these camps only exist in the political arena.these is no disagreement among scientists over the need to aggressively pursue both in order to solve important medical problems. Dr.douglas melton, co director, harvard srem cell institute.

 Millions of American families affected by debilitating diseases have new hope today after the U.S. House passed legislation to support potentially life-saving stem cell research. [|Nancy L. Johnson]
