Starter Do you believe human embryos should be harvested for stem cell research? Do you believe human embryos should be harvested for stem cell research?

Lesson Objectives Describe what stem cells are and where they are found Describe the role of stem cells in embryonic development Evaluate the ethical questions that raise from the use of stem cells Curriculum link: 1.1 Cell biology. Ethical implications of research – research involving stem cells is growing in importance and raises ethical issues.

Key notes Inside each nucleus of every cell in your body is the blue prints to clone you. However cells become differentiated and only express some genes and not others in a cell’s genome. Stem cells are undifferentiated and this gives them the ability to be used to as replacement for many different types of cells that have been lost or damaged. Human stem cells are found in human embryos and some adult tissues like bone marrow. If they can be harvested, they can be used in other parts of the body to regenerate damaged tissues.

Some animals are able to re-grow parts of their bodies…

But most are not 

A Stem Cell Story

Stem Cells retain the capacity to divide and can differentiate along divergent pathways. Totipotent Can differentiate into any type of cell. Pluripotent Can differentiate into many types of cell. Multipotent Can differentiate into a few closely-related types of cell. Unipotent Can regenerate but can only differentiate into their associated cell type (e.g. liver stem cells can only make liver cells). Image from:

Screenshot from this excellent tutorial: Differentiation (specialization) of cells: All diploid (body) cells have the same chromosomes. So they carry all the same genes and alleles. BUT Not all genes are expressed (activated) in all cells. The cell receives a signal. This signal activates or deactivates genes. Genes are expressed accordingly and the cell is committed. Eventually the cell has become specialized to a function. Key Concept: Structure vs Function How do the structures of specialized cells reflect their functions? How does differentiation lead to this?

Therapeutic Uses of Stem Cells Animated tutorials from: From : Animation of this process:

Use the news article to help you complete the following information : 1)Define the term stem cell. 2) Describe the role of stem cells in embryonic development. 3) There are potential non-therapeutic uses of stem cells. What do you think they might be? Key termDefinition Differentiation Therapeutic Embryonic Specialisation Ethics List potential benefits of stem cell research - What are main sources of stem cells? What are the ethical concerns with stem cells? Do you think we should continue research with embryonic stem cells?

An early embryo that has not yet implanted into the uterus does not have the psychological, emotional or physical properties that we associate with being a person. It therefore does not have any interests to be protected and we can use it for the benefit of patients The embryo cannot develop into a child without being transferred to a woman’s uterus. It needs external help to develop. Even then, the probability that embryos used for in vitro fertilization will develop into full- term successful births is low. Something that could potentially become a person should not be treated as if it actually were a person Plenary - Do you agree or disagree? Destroying an embryo to get the stems cells is like murder. This should be a crime. The government should pay for embryonic stem cell research. This could be our only hope for treatment of many injuries and diseases that cause suffering and death.

More than half of all fertilized eggs are lost due to natural causes. If the natural process involves such loss, then using some embryos in stem cell research should not worry us either Development from a fertilized egg into to baby is a continuous process and any attempt to pinpoint when personhood begins is arbitrary. A human embryo is a human being in the embryonic stage, just as an infant is a human being in the infant stage. Although an embryo does not currently have the characteristics of a person, it will become a person and should be given the respect and dignity of a person. Plenary - Do you agree or disagree?

Homework – read pages 3-6 about microscopes Read pages 12 – 15 about stem cells Five Minute Essay What is a stem cell? How do stem cells differentiate into specialized cells? Outline one therapeutic use of stem cells. Describe the ethical dilemmas faced using stem cells
