Stem Cell

Everything you need to know

The Truth about Stem Cell Our Answer to the Many Cures?

Major mine field and Controversies:

 Intellectual products from stem cells research  used as a money spinner

 Stem cells acts like drugs and can be sold like one

 ESCs from embryos are unethical to many based on moral and religious grounds.

 Cloning humans and destroying embryos are unethical

 Many people associate stem cells with destroying embryos and cloning humans when there are actually thousands of other stem cell methods

Stem cells research is shrouded in clouds of varying viewpoints and ethical stands. These must be approached head-on. The main problems surround that of research on human embryonic stem cells. As science and technology advances, these ethical issues may be bypassed one day. The ends of embryonic stem cells research is good. The problems is the means. Is it alright to harvest ESS from donated eggs? Is an embryo a person or does it has a life? We have a duty not to kill..
