Essay / Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells - 1457
Induced Pluripotent Stem CellsDebates about stem cell research have resonated from class to class, and hearing that someone actually has a solution to this paradox, which can really compromise two points very tenacious views, I could only write my report on what I thought of a very “enlightening” article:1. Objective analysis. “Getting the Rights to Stem Cells” by Maureen L Condic serves to highlight the ethical part of stem cell research trying to anchor the whole debate and commercialize a new embryonic stem cell perspective called pluripotent stem cells induced. The author clearly supports the latter and wants to focus all research entirely on it and forget about the "unethical" research on embryonic stem cells. She took up the pen to 1) present this new perspective 2) refute the response of current embryonic stem cell researchers, and 3) fully support IPSC's new research as a call to action to end in research on embryonic stem cells.1) The author presents and informs about the IPSC in: - A true cost-free resolution of a conflict, where the interests of all parties are taken into account. are served without compromise. » - Ongoing research that has shown that "ordinary human skin" can be transformed into stem cells through a process called direct reprogramming, equal to embryonic stem cells. - Production of IPSCs is very simple. - No destruction of embryos does not take place. -Ethically and scientifically “without compromise” - Research, although still in its infancy - Simpler and cheaper to produce than embryonic stem cells. - eligible for federal funding2) The author refutes what she has gathered from different sources from which scientists...... middle of paper ......ure. – said the same University of Utah on its website. So if that is the case, why support one research over another. Additionally, iPS cells can also develop into a human embryo. This is also considered unethical by many supervisors. /stemcells/scissors/Reports by Danwei Huangfu, René Maehr, Wenjun Guo, Astrid Eijkelenboom, Melinda Snitow, Alice E Chen and Douglas A Melto.http://www.nature.com/nbt/journal/v26/n7/full/ nbt1418.htmlWikipedia.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induced_pluripotent_stem_cellUnited States National Library of Medicine.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3010384/http://www .ncbi. nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19672241
