Presentation transcript:

Presented by Alexandria Piccinini STEM CELL RESEARCH

What are Stem Cells?  Only cell in the human body that has the natural ability to generate new cell types.  It is uncommitted to a specific function until it receives a signal to transform into a specific cell type  Body’s raw materials

Three Variations There are three main variations of stem cells: embryonic, tissue specific or adult cells, and induced pluripotent

Potential Benefits Help the medical field better understand how diseases and conditions develop Effective regenerative medicine Regenerate and repair damaged tissue

EmCell  Cell Therapy Center in Ukraine  7,000 successful transplants  BBC called it “The Last Hope Clinic”  Patient Testimonials

Controversies  Medical benefits outweigh ethical concerns  Week old blastocysts are not human beings  Majority of embryos are discarded  Morally unacceptable  Destroying a life  Created embryonic cells are unecessary  Human Cloning  Cater to the wealthy In Favor:Opposed:

Should we expand federal funding?

US Policy versus International Policy  Bush- strict funding  NIH funded $607 mil  Obama- removed restrictions  Criminalized in certain European countries  Continuation of Nazi eugenics  Foreign organizations promoting funding

Why is Stem Cell Research Important?  Acclaimed branch of medicine: “Cure the incurable”  Incredibly controversial  Will revolutionize modern day medicine To stay updated visit com/
