Politicians and other people fighting against embryonic stem cell research are saying that it would cost too much money to fund. Although this is true in that there are some things that may be more important for us to fund, wouldn’t stem cell research be worth it? There are so many diseases that it could potentially cure. There are several kinds of research going on now to cure other diseases that are costing just as much money, why not try one more thing. If there is potential to save several lives by doing research on one thing, why not do it.
Pro Choice A topic that is very controversial in today’s American society is whether or not abortions and stem cell research should be legal or not. There are more facts that prove these topics should be legal. The 9th Amendment states the American’s right of pro choice. Abortion should be kept legal because there are many reasons why the mother should not have the baby. Also because abortions are legal then stem cell research should be made legal because if a fetus is already killed then it can still be put to good scientific research and possibly help another human being.
“The ability to make precise genetic changes in human stem cells could be used to boost their therapeutic potential or make them more compatible with patients’ immune systems.” (Wexler 13) This achievement has set more boundaries to therapeutic cloning making funding for clone experiments dispensable. Surely, Therapeutic Cloning is a subject that should be left alone for the safety of our future generations and because it is option to an advancement in medicine not the only solution for mankind. Cloning is the type of technology that humans are not ready to face. Cloning comes with a lot suffering to the clones themselves. Clones would not have their own purpose in life or originality.
It is argued by many sociologists the main purpose of health care is to cure disease through the use of scientifically tested methods purposely created to address diagnosed illnesses. However, sociologists
Abstract The ability to use embryonic stem cells in research leads to major medical breakthroughs; the use of stem cells should be permitted and supported. Stem cells have the ability to acquire cures for diseases such as: Multiple Sclerosis, HIV, Alzheimer's, Cancer, and vast amounts of other diseases. Ethical and Religious beliefs influence peoples outlook on embryonic stem cells which can give embryonic stem cells a bad image. But, the truth is, embryonic stem cells give hope to many people suffering from diseases that, at this point in time, have no cure. "In the end, it's possible that human beings may die so that embryos will live.
This experimentation could be attack as unreliable. If you test a drug for side effects, you will not see all the adverse reactions in a neomort. Imagine a blood pressure medication with vision side effects, would this be noticed in a neomort? I do agree that drug testing would be tried on the neomort, but could be determined too unreliable. Gaylin then argues that the more controversial uses, banking and harvesting, will fix current problems of organ donation.
Human Embryonic Stem cell research (hESC), a highly controversial topic, has the potential to end thousands of people fall victim from diseases that are preventable. Although it seems to be a great research with remarkable outcomes, their is a dark side to it. While Trying to obtain these astonishing results and advance medical treatments, embryos will ultimately be sacrificed throughout the process. In other words, abortion will occur while seeking the solution to cure diseases. Thus creating a huge debate in the public world, and many ethical decisions to whether (hESC) is morally wrong.
Within the field of contemporary medicine, Occam's Razor is utilized in a form otherwise known as diagnostic parsimony, which in turn is a flourishing topic for discussion and debate within the medical field. Diagnostic parsimony advocates that when diagnosing a given injury, ailment, illness, or disease a doctor should strive to look for the fewest possible causes that will account for all the symptoms While diagnostic parsimony is often regarded as a salubrious theory, admission should also be given to the counter-argument modernly known as Hickam's dictum, that succinctly states: "patients can have as many diseases as they damn well please” (Thorburn 256). It's stated that statistically, patients are more likely susceptible to having multiple common
Stem Cell Research Litigation The debate over stem cell research, and whether or not it should be made legal, is very complicated and long-standing. Stem cell research involves investigating whether or not embryonic stem cells can be used to potentially cure a number of diseases, including Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and many others. The theory is that, since stem cells are able to differentiate into any other cell in the body, that they can be used to create healthy cells where once there were cancer cells, thus treating the disease. Stem cells have already been used to repair disease-ridden tissue successfully in patients (Neel & Silberner, 2011). However, there are many who oppose the use of embryonic stem cells in research, particularly among the pro-life community.
The need for truthful, accurate scientific information, and clearly stated product information helps consumers and medical providers make “informed decisions about regulated products” (Masoudi & Pruitt, 2011, p. 111). Some persons believe the enforcement acts of the FDA violate the First Amendment by having weak policies. The number of these developments increases as the agency develops more enforcement activities. The FDA began to conform to the First Amendment regulations and guidance documents in 2002. Manufacturers debate on the enforcement acts based on free speech concerning their
