What is its purpose? To cure and understand different diseases Used to replace unhealthy and damaged tissues or organs Used to safely test new drugs for effectiveness

How does it work? Stem Cells can be taken from three different places adult Stem Cells, embryonic Stem Cells and cord Blood Stem Cells. These cells that are taken are used to help people with diseases. For example Parkinson's disease, Type I diabetes, Arthritis, Burn victims, and Cardiovascular diseases. The stem cells are used in therapies to help them. The nucleus is taken from the cell of the patient and placed in the stem cell. It is then put into the patient

Benefits/Risks Help people Possibility of better treatments or cures Can potentially reverse damage from heart attacks, Parkinson’s disease or genetic defects Could be used to make new, healthy tissue for burn victims Stem cell research also benefits other researches as well Used to test safety of new drugs Making the disease worse In some countries the stem cells do not come from humans rather sharks or sheep for example For great potential of growing like an organ is also great risk of tumors and masses Some stem cell clinics are fakes

Ethical considerations Stem cell research has always been a debate of morals. Some people believe that when destroying an early stage embryo you are killing a human life. Some other people believe it only has the potential of human life. The opinion depends on the way the embryo is viewed.

Our opinion Our opinion is that an early stage embryo is a potential for human life and it could go towards helping save a living person now. As long as it is being used for the right purpose and is going towards advancement in medicine or helping people.

Future implications Future implications of stem cells is; Blindness Growing organs Cartilage Any disease with damaged cells New ways of delivering therapies Improve therapies
