Embryonic stem cells are thought by most of the researchers to hold potential cures for spinal chord injuries, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, heart diseases and hundreds of rare immune system and genetic disorders. In the past decades, researchers have tried to come up with ways of implementing the embryonic stem cell research into traditional medicine. Scientists see almost infinite value in the use of embryonic stem cell research in order to understand the human development and the growth and treatment of these dangerous diseases. Like any medical issue, embryonic stem cell research has both pros and cons, from the religious and medical communities. They say that it is the same process as cloning and that it is highly dangerous to play with human DNA cells.

Indeed, the first six steps of embryonic stem cell research are the same as cloning. Nevertheless, stem cells can be used to generate an organ or a tissue that is a genetic match to the skin cell donor. Embryonic stem cell research also allows the elimination of cells that might damage the nervous system. The benefits of embryonic stem cell research reside from the huge potential for finding treatments and cures to a very wide array of diseases. Although this type of stem-cells are shorter-lived as compared to other types of embryonic cell lines, there is vast potential, if enough money is invested in researching them further. More importantly, they must not be considered individual living beings by pro-life advocates.

As to any issue, there are of course some negative opinions on embryonic stem cell research. The use of embryonic stem cells for research involves the destruction of blastocysts, formed from laboratory fertilized human eggs. For those who believe that life begins at conception, the blastocyst is human life and to destroy it is unacceptable and immoral. This seems to be the only controversial issue standing in the way of the embryonic stem cell research. Even if there are pros and cons, one thing is for sure, embryonic stem cell research is a very important branch of medicine that must be developed in order to cure people and eradicate certain diseases.

Embryonic stem cell research is a major discovery for regenerative medicine, but is also considered the start of a crime that takes control over life and death, being unethical at the same time. Stem cells have extraordinary regenerating effect that could cure many people or even save lives. As stem cells regenerate, they can transform into new organs that can be transplanted into an unhealthy body. Stem cells are able to transform into any other tissue or type of cells, such as muscular one or brain. These cells are grown in laboratories and are found in many organs. The most viable and powerful are those that are found in embryos and placenta. Birth defects, type 1 diabetes, spinal cord injuries and cancer, Alzheimer or Parkinson are only a part of the diseases that can be cured with the help of embryonic stem cell research.

For that, embryonic stem cell research has to develop and to be supported with the necessary funds for acquiring tools, equipment, space, and to pay those that are involved. Major discoveries could be made if embryonic stem cell research would have the chance to develop. If things would happen this way, more people would have a normal, better life or even be cured. Unfortunately, embryonic stem cell research is still controversial and there are law issues that stop its evolution. Apart from that, there are also religious people that are against embryonic stem cell research, thinking that no one could play God.

Doctors and scientists argue that embryonic stem cell research should not be so controversial and blamed as it is more important to save the lives of so many people that could not only survive, but also have a normal life. It is time to get over religious influences, prejudices or thinking about ethical problems, as long as very sick people are struggling to survive in hospitals, not knowing if they will survive next day. Embryonic stem cell research is what we need to stop that or at least to decrease the number of sick kids and adults.

Embryonic stem cell research is one of those new discoveries that can cure people, prevent diseases or improve the health of many. Embryonic stem cell research is clogged by many beliefs, lack of information, cultural clashes and complicated laws. This type of cells represent a huge discovery in the field of regenerative medicine, but new discoveries cannot be made as there are not necessary funds or supporters of it. Embryonic stem cell research is so controversial because is perceived as a crime or abortion and is considered unethical also. Many people do not know that embryonic stem cells have only few days, so they cannot be considered life indeed, but even so, this fact is perceived as a huge murder and embryonic stem cell research is something that should not even been discovered.

Some think that embryonic stem cell research means playing with life and killing those very little souls that are developing. There are also problems with finding the necessary funds for a better research and for new studies, but how can that be possible if the country laws are huge and strong opponents? Moreover, there are religious beliefs that consider embryonic stem cell research and procedures a crime and are totally against it. On the other side, we should think which is more important: saving lives or having these opinions on and on? Let us think that our baby could suffer from a disease and his only chance to survive and have a normal life would be through such a method. What would we do?

For some people, accepting the death of someone dear is easier if they are very religious and think that this is God’s will, but not all of us have the same opinion, so embryonic stem cell research should be encouraged through many special programs and helped with funds that will generate new discoveries and possibilities for curing severe diseases and save lives. Until then, embryonic stem cell research stays a controversial topic that is discussed in many countries. Until then, let us hope that things will change and embryonic stem cell research will save lives.

Embryonic stem cell research is a new field in medicine that has been very controversial, although is very useful for curing severe diseases. There are countries in which embryonic stem cell research is encouraged through different way and policies, but still is a debated and controversial subject. Embryonic stem cell research is so blamed for killing the human egg, so it is as if would take someone’s life, which is a crime. Things are even worse when religious matters are involved and people think that they are making a sort of abortion.

Specialists believe that embryonic stem cell research is helpful for treating diseases as Alzheimer, heart disorders, genetic problems, Parkinson’s disease, and other rare health issues. Its role seems to be very important, but people have to understand that very well and to be informed about what is actually happening during the process. Embryonic stem cell research is a very important process for discovering what is happening with the capacity of embryo cells to reproduce any part of the cells in other organs of our body. Although embryonic stem cell research has been banned for several years, it seems that the public opinion starts to have a different opinion.

There is a lot to work for doctors and for scientists, but hey are doing their best and also need funds to accomplish embryonic stem cell research projects. Embryonic stem cell research is still in progress and there are many things to discover than we know now. The future has many things to offer for our health and as more and more people suffer from severe health problems, embryonic stem cell research will proof to be a great asset even today is not at all perceived like that. It is extraordinary how much this field advanced, but it is more important now how humanity understand to use that and not to abuse for it as there ca be many hidden interests.
