Essay / The Pros and Cons of Embryonic Stem Cell Research and to cultivate human embryonic stem cells, a feature that had eluded researchers for nearly two decades. » (Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity, nd). This announcement sparked an intense and ongoing debate between those who approve of embryonic stem cell research and those who oppose it. "Some of the research's most prominent advocates are scientists and patients who believe that embryonic stem cell research will lead to the development of treatments and cures for some of humanity's most pernicious ailments (such as stem cell disease). 'Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, heart disease and diabetes)' (Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity, nd). Among the most vocal opponents of research are those who share the desire to heal, but who oppose pursuing healing through unethical means. The CBHD's view is that, to the extent that human embryonic stem cell research requires the destruction of human embryos, such research is unethical, regardless of its purported benefits. Ethical alternatives should be actively sought to achieve these benefits. What are human embryonic stem cells and how are they obtained? “Embryonic stem cells are cells produced either from adults or from fertilized embryos. » (American Life League, nd). These are the cells that are largely those of a child in the early stages of development. “They are also cells found in bone marrow and muscle tissue. » (American Life League, nd). Stem cells can be obtained from different tissues throughout the body. the reason stem cells are so sought after is that they have the ability to repair...... middle of paper ...... patients. Have scientists succeeded in using embryonic stem cells to treat diseases? It has been reported that embryonic stem cell testing has a great effect on patients. But they also encountered problems with side effects. Could adult cells become embryonic stem cells. Scientists consider this a game changer for stem cell therapy. “Which requires ordinary skin or blood cells to be bathed in a weak solution of citric acid for 25 minutes.” (Devlin, 2014). Shouldn't it be ethical to allow the destruction of a few embryos in order to help millions of people suffering from diseases? the millions of people who suffer. » (Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity, nd).
