stems cells
Issues of Stem Cells Stem cells research has a lot of issues surrounding it. Issues such as social , Legal , and ethical are things that need to be considered. For example some social issues include the impact of stem cell technologies on the society as a whole. People need to identify what is wrong and what is right. Some of the legal issues require researchers as well as the public to help policymakers decide whether and in what ways stem cell technologies should be regulated by the government.

Embryonic Cells
Embryonic cells have a big ethical and moral issue to them, because Embryonic stem cells are directly extracted from an embryo before the embryo's cells begin to distinguish. During this stage the embryo is known as a “blastocyst”, there is a very lage amount of stem cells found there, which can be kept alive and grown in cultures and doubled every 2-3 days. However extracting the cells of the embryo, require the destruction of the embryo, which means it would require the death of a humans life. Many believe that by doing this it is the same as murder, however embryonic research advocates say that the tiny blastocyst has no human features.  |
