What are the disadvantages to using adult stem cells? J. What are their possible uses in medicine? K. Do you feel that federal funding should be allocated toward human embryonic stem cell research? Why or Why not?
What is stem cell research and how is it connected to abortions? I hear that abortions can be good in the sense of stem cell research. But I do not know what that is, so if someone could explain to me what it is and how abortion would benefit for stem cell research that would be great. Thanks!
How do stem cells work and how is society affected by stem cell research? How do stem cells work? Also, how does stem cell research affect society? And how could the use of a stem cell be influenced?
What is the government’s policy regarding the funding of stem cell research? A) All stem cell research can receive government funding. B) Only adult stem cell research can receive government funding. C) Only embryonic stem cell research can be funded. D) Only embryonic stem cell lines already established can be funded; other research using adult stem cells and cord blood or placental blood can be funded by the government.
Why is there such a strong opposition to stem cell research? I realize that people are against cloning just to retrieve stem cells, but how can they argue so vehemently about the subject when most do not even fully comprehend it? Stem cells are cells which are unspecialized. That is to say they can develop into any of the 220 different types of cells in your body. Embryonic stem cells can only be found within the first 10 days after fertilization and removing them means immediate death for the embryo. The other type of stem cells, called adult stem cells, exist in everyone, but can only differentiate into certain types of cells. That's right, everyone has stem cells in them, which, by using newly developed techniques, could be cultured to produce living tissue which could be replaced into the body. Stem cells and, obviously, stem cell research can only result in cures for diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and a ton of other of conditions. So why is everyone so against stem cell research when it can only do us good? As I mentioned earlier, stem cell development DOES NOT necessarily mean killing an embryo. Ok, please read the whole question and all details. STEM CELL RESEARCH DOES NOT NECESSARILY INVOLVE KILLING EMBRYOES! This is exactly what I mean; people are against something that they do not fully understand themselves!

How is stem cell research important to the history of science? I have to write a thesis statement for my paper and have a little description of why this topic is important to the history of science. Here's the thing. I don't know much about stem cell research, could someone maybe suggest some websites or something that could help me. I don't know where to begin.
Stem cell research: Is it wrong to make clones of people to use them for spare parts? What if we could create duplicates of our own organs so our bodies wouldn’t reject them when our old organs die? Or what if we could make entire clones of ourselves to extend our own lives for as long as we wanted? Stem cell research can make all of these things possible but the problem is that many people consider it immoral. The idea that, even though it’s a clone, it’s still a living being. So what do we do?
Was the embryonic stem cell really a moral and cultural debate versus the best use of research dollars? Any and all advances have been with adult cell and adult stem cells can now be used to create any cells therefore eliminating the reason for embryonic stem cells. Is it in our best interest to take funding away from adult stem cell research to give to the unpredictable embryonic stem cells to make a political statement?
What result could stem cell research have on the drug companies? Right now drug companies makes drugs to treat Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease and to resist the rejection of organ transplants, among other things. What if stem cell research resulted in treatment that would eliminate the need for these drugs, would drug companies try to stop stem cell research by turning it into an abortion issue?
Should stem cell research be legal and federally funded, and what about embryonic stem cell research? Their are 3 choices. A) All stem cell research should be legal and ferderally funded. B) Adult stem cell research should be legal and federally funded but not embryonic stem cell research. C) All stem cell research should be illegal and not federally funded. It's for a research paper that's due this Thursday. I think I know my opinion, I just wanna see what everyone else thinks. Please be detailed. Thanks!
What is the significants of embryonic stem cell research over adult stem cells research? I have been told that there is more potential in saving lives with adult (or other non-embryonic) stem cell research over embryonic stem cell research. I know about the whole genetic arguement (because getting ACS has the genetic code of the patient, the patient will accept it idea) so I know the advantages of ADC over ESC. What are the advantages of ESC over ASC?
What are the different views on stem cell research? I am doing research on stem cells, and I am supposed to find arguments for 3 different groups. On the paper these are the groups... 1. Government agency supporting the Bush plant's limited funding of stem cell research. 2. University research team opposed to the limits of the Bush plan. 3. Religious group opposed to any use of embryonic stem cells. So any help would be greatly appreciated! I would like for you to list your sources, or just lead me to a place where I can find information on this. Thanks!
How is stem cell research similar to abortion? In abortion you kill the fetus but what do they do in stem cell research - do they kill a fetus to. Roman Catholics believe that abortion is totally wrong, but that stopping the sperm before fertilisation is considered right. So anyway, what happens to the sperm in stem cell research and does stem cell research need sperm only or does it need it to be grown into a fetus?
How is stem cell research related to the 1st amendment? Im doing a project and have talk about which part of the 1st amendment stem cell research falls under. Also, what are conflicting views regarding stem cell research, and what are the current rights of citizens regarding the issue?
With stem cell research, is it possible to create a new eye? With stem cell research, Is it possible to create/grow a new eye for a person who have been blind or lose their eye in accident? Or for people who are too near sighted?
What is so great about embryonic stem cell research that makes it better than adult stem cell research? For 25 years embryonic stem cell research has been done with ZERO results for treating diseases. Adult stem cell research has led to 70 diseases being treated. That is why George Bush would not fund stem cell research with taxpayer money. He did not stop funding from private businesses or individuals to embryonic stem cell research.
How could I explain stem cell research in a simple way in my controversy paper? I am writing in english about stem cell research. I am for it and I was wonder how I could explain it. Away that is simple and that it easy to understand.
What are the cons of stem cell research? I have to do a debate in my class about stem cell research and somehow I ended up on the side against stem cell research. I am personally all for stem cell research and I can't seem to find any cons. Please no answers about how it's a sin or how we are "betraying god". Just straight forward scientific answers. Thanks.
How do people actually do stem cell research? Do they cut out the embroys from pregnant women? Sorry not sure? When a woman gets an abortion, is that how they do it? Do they cut out the blastocyst from the woman when she is getting an abortion, and can do stem cell research on it? Or do they actually combine sperm and egg in a lab, and then perform research on it? Also, can a baby grow in a test tube without actually ever being injected into a mother?
How can stem cell research be debatable while abortion is legal ? With all the patriotic chest thumping these days how can Americans keep straight faces when stem cell research (life) is being challenged yet abortion (death) is legal . I think If there really is a God this would cause him to react . America is not the great country it claims to be .
What effect does stem cell research have on our everyday lives? How have developments in the field of stem cell research influenced everyday life? I don't need to know what they could do in the future, but what research in the subject has allowed us to do today. Thanks heaps! :D
How do we know stem cell research can lead to a cure for various diseases? I'm giving a speech on pro stem cell research. My classmates have replied to my claims saying there are no results of a cure, or evidence showing the potential of a cure, yet. I don't believe this is true, but I've found weak evidence proving otherwise so far. All I've found is scientists claiming this research may lead to a cure, which isn't very specific. If you know of any evidence or supportive claims that prove stem cell research may lead to a cure than it would be very appreciated it you would please share. Thanks!
What are religious and political views of stem cell research? I am doing a stem cell research project and I need help with defining the religious and political views of stem cells and stem cell research.
How is stem cell research killing human beings if they're not even human yet? Stem cell research could have the huge possibility of curing some of the worlds worst diseases, saving millions of lives, and yet you loving Christians think it's wrong to try and save other peoples' lives just because you are killing a few cells? Cells die at an unimaginable rate. Most likely duotrigintillions and duotrigintillions per second!
What is your opinion about the stem cell research? Do you support abortion? I am having a debate and I would like to know what the other people think about this situation. Do you think that the stem cell research is pointless or should it continue? Do you believe that any of this will actually work? What are your opinions? I would also like to know if you support abortion. Do you think that there is a connection between abortion and the stem cell research?
What is the relation between stem cell research and Life extension? How does (or perhaps "would" would be the better term) stem cell research effectively extend human life? This is for an IB Theory of Knowledge class and if anyone has any sources or insight on the topic WITHOUT being openly biased based on the question asked I would be eternally grateful. This question does not contain moral or ethical components, but rather inquires on the science of stem cells and their relation to the topic of Life extension.

How does the lack of stem cell research affect insurance? I am curious to how insurance companies could benefit from stem cell research. With medical costs on the rise and insurance companies taking a financial toll because of it, i thought that the potential cures/good outcomes from stem cell therapy could help... Please no negative/demeaning comments and please find sources if possible i would like to read about some of it
What is your opinion on embryonic stem cell research? I believe that this research's potential for cures for outweighs the negative. Everyone says, "oh we shouldn't kill embryos and other methods work fine." First of all, many embryos are discarded today that could be used to find cures for various dieseases. Also, embryonic stem cells are the most malleable form of stem cells, so they are the easiest kind to work with and have more potential. I think the government should fund stem cell research. What do you think? The negatives are the ethics of it. Some people believe that using embryos for this purpose is wrong.
How can I donate my wisdom teeth to stem cell research? I am really interested in stem cell research and what it does and I may have my wisdom teeth pulled.

What is stem cell research and what is bad about it? Well, I was looking up controversial topics for my biology project and I came across the term 'stem cell research" and I was just wondering what that was and why it would be controversial?
What is wrong with embryonic stem cell research? I have type 1 diabetes and I think it's an important step in finding a cure. When they do this don't they put an unused egg and unused sperm together? The materials would go unused any way and even if it were to be used for a person they could still die in the womb. Abortion ends life and is legal while stem cells are only the potential for life. Even if the fetus was born they could end up with very poor quality of life, while with stem cell research can improve quality of life. So why do people oppose stem cell research so much?
What are some types of visual aids for a project about stem cell research? I had to write a research report about 4 pages long for class about stem cell research.

How far has stem cell research come since it started to now? I need to know the development and maybe some uses of stem cell research in todays society.
Are you for or against stem cell research? For those uninformed, stem cell research is when they take the stem cells (stem cells are the unspecialized cells which can develop into any of the body's cells) from an embryo. I.E this can help a person w/ heart deffect; stem cells could be injected into the heart tissue, regenerating new cells. But researching stem cells can basically kill the embryo, because most of the cells would be removed. Are you for this? This can help save lives and could potentially be a cure for many diseases Or are you against this? Because of the embryos? I'm for it.
How is stem cell research performed in a laboratory? How is stem cell research -embryonic and adult stem cell research performed in a laboratory?
How can stem cell research help with congenital heart disease? Can research help children already born? My nephew was born with a hole in his heart and two defective valves. The hole was repaired with surgery. One valve was stretced to do the job. The other defective valve was left alone. The stretched valve will likely have to be replaced soon. And so will the unrepaired valve. The doctors think they will replace them with artificial valves or animal valves as he grows. With stem cell research are they thinking it may be possible to repair valves now or in the future?
What is morally wrong with stem cell research, and what exactly is it? From my limited knowledge of stem cell research, it seems as if all the cells that are used are already dead. What is so wrong with using something dead to help prevent and/or treat diseases and other illnesses in the future? Is donating your body to science wrong? Is donating your organs wrong? You are using a dead body to help other people. To me, stem cell research seems to be the same type of thing, and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it to me. Actually, what I meant was that if stem cell research was what I thought it was, then it seemed to me that it was a lot like donating your body to Science or your organs to be transplanted. I knew there was nothing wrong with that; I was using them more hypothetically than anything. You know, I was using them as examples. But thanks anyway. :D Sorry if I confused you guys!
Why are people so concerned about embryonic stem cell research? I am doing a project for school on embryonic stem cell research and want to know why people are so concerned about it.

Please simplify your answers if you can!
Where can I donate my eggs for stem cell research? I live in Atlanta. GA. I am 43 and perimenopausal. I would like to donate what eggs I have left that can be harvested for stem cell research. I have a friend with Multiple Sclerosis and I want to do anything I can to help find a cure. If you're against stem cell research, don't bother replying. You won't change my mind.
How do opponents of stem cell research justify in vitro fertilization? I'm really curious about this. I think this line of reasoning throws a wrench in the argument of stem cell research opponents. I'm really curious about this. I think this line of reasoning throws a wrench in the argument of stem cell research opponents. The majority of stem cells would come from left over embryos from couples who have had in vitro fertilization. Normally, these embryos are discarded. So instead being discarded, they're being used to help fight debilitating dieseases. What's wrong with that?
Why do proponents of stem cell research favor using federal funds for embryonic stem cell research? From what I understand, experiments using adult stem cells and placental stem cells haven proven very promising and, so far, embryonic stem cells haven't been successful at all, and have even been shown to be cancer causing. So how do embryonic stem cell proponents justify diverting money away from adult stem cell research to embryonic research? Good answer Common. I thought this may be the case. I disagree with it on a moral basis, but that's a different discussion.
Why the Double Standard Between Stem Cell Research and Faith Healing? Not that I agree or disagree with either side of the argument on stem cell research or faith healing, but why the double standard? The government has made stem cell research illegal because of religious views, and the science behind it can save lives. The government also prosecutes someone for murder when they use their religion to try to heal a sick person and they die. In one case religion trumps science and in the latter case science trumps religion. Whats the deal here, and why is this okay? Whats everyone's input? Does anyone else notice this double standard?
Would stem cell research be considered a current controversial topic? I have to research a current controversial topic for my english class. Would stem cell research be considered a good topic?

Why are those who oppose embryonic stem cell research not opposed to IVF clinics disposing of the embryos? For anyone who is a little educated on this issue we all know that the embryonic stem cells do not come from abortions They come from the surplus In Vitro Fertility treatments that otherwise are disposed of. So if people oppose using these embryos for research on ethical concerns (since I have heard no other reasons) why is it ok to dispose of them? Or are there other concerns I am not aware of? Or is it people hear stem cell research and just wrongly jump to conclude it is an abortion matter?
What are your views on stem cell research? Particulary embryonic. Do you support stem cell research or do you oppose it? Do you believe that morals and values are more/less important than scientific advancement, even if it does mean the embryo (blastocyst) is destroyed? All opinions welcome [: Please provide evidence/support if you are discussing specific research developments. Biologically, "life" begins at conception. do you agree with this? Should one stage of life be more valued than the other?
What could stem cell research potentially cure? I'm for all stem cell research and I was wondering what it can be used to cure? I know it can be used for Parkinson's and Alzheimer's but what else?

What do you think of the breakthrough in the stem cell research? 'Human skin cells have been reprogrammed by two groups of scientists to mimic embryonic stem cells with the potential to become any tissue in the body.' I think its fascinating that scientists can use human skin cells as substitutes for embryonic stem cells. I have always been a supporter of stem cell research and this breakthrough is just incredible.
What are the simple advantages of stem cell research? Please could anyone ell me the advantages of stem cell research. Just stem cells in general and not embryonic or adult. Thanks in advance The only reason for asking is becasue i am currently undertaking a case study in chemistry and the topic is. Should Stem cell research be legal? One of the sections is , evidence that stem cell research is good. also evidence that stem cell research is bad.

How can someone be against stem cell research/ but support the death penalty? They oppose embryonic stem cell research because they say it is tantamount to murder, but also support the death penalty. If you are opposed to murder, then shouldn't they be against the death penalty? OR If you are in favor of murder, then shouldn't you support stem cell research? This makes no sense. Am I missing something here? Yes, equally good point. Some people are FOR stem cell research which can be interpreted as murder, but they are against the death penalty.

Instead of making a quick judgment, I'd love to hear what you think on this subject, so please tell me if your pro or anti and why? K I get it already, Bush didn't make it illegal, sry I was misinformed.
Do those who oppose stem cell research also oppose DNR orders in hospitals? DNR= Do Not Resuscitate These eggs cannot survive without the assistance of machines, just like some people choose not to live on machines. In cases of children the parents are asked to sign or not sign DNR orders. Technically isn't stem cell research the same as performing an autopsy.
Do you think that over time, stem cell research could evolve to cloning brains to help save someone of dying? The brain that a person has now would be dead because organs shut down. If an old person was dying of old age, do u think a brain derived of stem cell research would be a good idea?
What were each Presidential Candidate's thoughts and feelings on stem cell research? Coverage of many smaller issues during the presidential race were squeezed out of the media agenda due to the coverage of larger topics, such as the economy and the war in Iraq. Not once did I hear anything about Obama and McCain's plans for stem cell research. Although our next president has been chosen I would like to know what McCain's views were on the topic, as well as what President-elect Obama will do about stem cell research.

Why is stem cell research considered unethical? I'm sorry, I should know more about this, but I don't get all these scientifically terms and blah...could somebody explain it to me in easier terms? Is it basically like doing testings on human beings, like they do tests on animals?...I mean embryonic stem cell research. Thanks for the help.
Why don't people who oppose embryonic stem cell research go after fertility clinics instead? The main argument they use is that it leads to destruction of a potential human life, but they always seem to ignore the fact that the stem cells come from unused embryos in fertility clinics that were going to be discarded anyway rather than implanted. If it was a developing fetus that was already in the womb, that's one thing, but it's ridiculous to say the same thing about a blastocyst that won't even be implanted because then you might as well say that every egg or sperm is a potential human life. They also argue that embryonic stem cell research has failed to produce any cures, but if there's barely any research actually being done, then of course it's not going to produce any cures.

How is stem cell research related to the destruction of an embryo? read details? I always hear about how stem cell research is bad because human life is valuable. Im not for or against anything, but what does it mean when people say that human life is too valuable and that an embryo shouldn't be destroyed. How exactly is life killed when performing stem cell research?
Is cloning and stem cell research the same? I was just wondering because i am writing a paper on the ethics of stem cell research, and in all the things i've read they say alot about theraputic cloning.

Why would you be against stem cell research? Why would we not do stem cell research when there are 2.1 million abortions per year? I mean seriously, you know how many lives we could possibly save! Ridiculous! Don't take me the wrong way I do think it's wrong if we are intentionally killing embryos to get the stem cells. But if there are 2.1 million abortions per year, than why would we not use those stem cells for the research? Oh yes, 2.1 million are only the REPORTED cases. Who knows how many unreported abortions there are.
What are the current laws on embryonic stem cell research? i have to write an essay about it (embryonic stem cell research), and i can't find the laws that are in place right now, quotes or dates or things would be nice thanks in advance!! <33 **i know i already posted this, i just need an answer quickly!**

What is the deal with Stem Cell research? i heard a lot about it during debates and stuff, and i hear that it can give us answers to curing diseases and even cancer? can someone clear this up for me? What is stem cell research and what is the controversy?
What do you think about the Stem Cell Research Bill? Yesterday, the House of Representatives AND Congress passed the Stem Cell Research bill allowing for the research of cures of COUNTLESS diseases and ailments that mankind. Some that could be cured forever. Before you answer, think about this. With the passing of this bill we could save many upon many lives and cure future diseases forever. Some in which people that have it are tortured for good. We could have Mohammad Ali or Michael J. Fox walking and talking normally by the end of their lives. We could save the lives of the next Stephen Hawking or the next John F. Kennedy. This could be an amazing feat! On the lateral side, we could also kill of the next Albert Einstein or the most brilliant, wonderful person to ever live by killing of the embreyo that they would have become. In this, we could have a loss that would have changed many aspects of the world. What do you think about this bill that was passed? I am not going indepth with science here guy... I work full days and am up at 4 AM, I don't have the time nor the will to read a whole science book about Stem cell Research. What I wanted by this is to find out a little more about this situation. I hoped by this question that maybe more people would see it and give there opinions on it. George Bush let his religious beliefs get in the way of saving many people that could lead an amazing life but were cheated by a disease that honestly wasn't fair... but hey, life isn't fair I guess. It is what it is right?

What good has embryonic stem cell research ever done? GWB was the first president in history to fund it, much to the liberals' dismay (which comes from much igrnorance on the subject), but what diseases has it cured? What about compared to other, more productive forms of stem cell research? It seems to me that the only benefit of embryonic research is to satiate the liberal lust for killing babies. jpferrierjr: source? bushleauger: No babies have been harmed yet, thanks to GWB, he was the first president in history to fund embryonic stem cell research, but only on existing lines ... not off of harvesting for that purpose. Thank you for playing. jp: your wiki link discusses embryonic among other forms of stem cell research, but does not site which forms are the most beneficial
Why do people continue to pursue embryonic stem cell research? Killing a life to produce no real treatments or cures? When will ethics have a place in our science and technology. Embryonic stem cell research (and yes it is going on, despite your liberal claims that Bush has banned it) has resulted in ZERO cures and/or human treatments. Adult stem cell research has resulted in 72 known cures and/or successful human treatments. Democrats again trot out the victim and tell you who is to blame for their disease. Here are the 72 known cures and/or successful human treatments: Brain Cancer; Retinoblastoma; Ovarian Cancer; Merkel Cell Carcinoma; Testicular Cancer; Tumors abdominal organs Lymphoma; Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma; Hodgkin’s Lymphoma; Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia; Acute Myelogenous Leukemia; Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia; Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukemia; Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia; Cancer of the lymph nodes: Angioimmunoblastic, Lymphadenopathy; Multiple Myeloma, Myelodysplasia; Breast Cancer; Neuroblastoma; Renal Cell Carcinoma; Various Solid Tumors; Soft Tissue Sarcoma; Ewing’s Sarcoma; Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia; Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis; POEMS syndrome; Myelofibrosis; Systemic Lupus; Sjogren’s Syndrome; Myasthenia; Autoimmune Cytopenia; Scleromyxedema; Scleroderma; Crohn’s Disease; Behcetʼs Disease; Rheumatoid Arthritis; Juvenile Arthritis; Multiple Sclerosis; Polychondritis; Systemic Vasculitis; Alopecia Universalis; Buerger’s Disease; Acute Heart Damage Chronic Coronary Artery Disease; Corneal regeneration; Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Syndrome; X-linked Lymphoproliferative Syndrome; X-linked Hyper immunoglobulin M Syndrome; Parkinson’s Disease; Spinal Cord Injury; Stroke Damage; Sickle Cell Anemia; Sideroblastic Anemia; Aplastic Anemia; Red Cell Aplasia; Amegakaryocytic ‘Thrombocytopenia; Thalassemia; Primary Amyloidosis; Diamond Blackfan Anemia; Fanconi’s Anemia; Chronic Epstein-Barr Infection; Limb Gangrene; Surface Wound Healing; Jawbone Replacement; Skull Bone Repair; Hurler’s Syndrome; Osteogenesis Imperfecta; Krabbe Leukodystrophy; Osteopetrosis; Cerebral X-Linked Adrenoleukodystrophy; Chronic Liver Failure; Liver Cirrhosis; and End-Stage Bladder Disease
what are the alternatives to killing and embryo for stem cell research? yeah, like i don't beilieve in kiling embyros for stem cell research. What other methods are there for getting cells, and they work just as well? i just want some info cause i like debating about this and i need to be informed. Any other info on stem cells would be appreciated.
Since the 2008 Elections are coming up, what is the best way to try and get the Stem Cell Research ban lifted? I know it's not a total "ban", but most Dems are for embryonic stem cell research. I want to take a more aggressive role in this election to promote this as a major topic. Any mature, constructive suggestions? No ban? I thought stem cells were only able to be used if obtained before August of 2001, along with the no support from taxes? I'll look into it more, thanks.
