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.
