    Stem cells are unspecialized cells from which various cells can be created. They sit at the base of a developing cell formation. In addition, in many tissues serve as an internal repair system, stem cells divide nonstop in order to replenish other cells throughout the persons’ lifetime. When a stem cell divides, each new cell may either remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized function, thus they are a tremendously serious matter, not just in the USA, but all…

    Stem cells are the body’s raw material; they have the ability to develop into various cell types in the body, during the early stages of life. They also provide internal repair for many tissues. Stem cells can divide to replenish other cells. As the stem cell divides, it has the potential to remain a stem cell or morph into another type of cell that has a more specialized function, like a muscle cell, red blood cell, or brain cell. Stem cells can be guided into specific cells in order to…

    A stem cell is a “blank” cell that can be replicated and used for many disease treatments. They serve as a built-in repair system because they naturally exist in human bodies. They can become a muscle cell or skin cell to treat certain diseases such as Cancer, Spinal Cord Injury, and Parkinson’s disease. There are two main types of Stem cells, Adult and Embryonic. Adult stem cells are cells that can replicate and transport into location that needs to be repaired and it also helps us restore our…

    People have always believed that Embryonic Stem Cell Research has the potential to lead to great medical discoveries that may allow the recreation of medicine. Through embryonic stem cell research, stem cells can be created and modified so that these cells can transform into specific cells that may be used to treat incurable diseases, or create therapies for incurable diseases, such as diabetes. However, there are also several ethical issues that are looked down upon by various civilian and…

    Within the past decade stem cell research has been a very debatable issue within the secular and religious communities. The ongoing debate has been based on the basis of embryonic stem cell research, the moral ethics of it, versus adult stem cell research. While generalized stem cell research can and has led to huge scientific breakthroughs, the benefit from embryonic research does not warrant the risk of potentially killing a future President. So what are stem cells and why are they important…

    Stem cells are characterized by the ability to replicate themselves limitlessly. After being created, these identical copies can remain undifferentiated for a long period of time. When receiving specific signals from internal and external environments, they transform themselves to a particular type of cell in the body with specialized functions and features. Therefore, they act as an essential system for tissue repair and growth (National Institutes of Health, 2009). Based on their origins, stem…
