The article “Stem Cell Research” expands on the medical benefits that arise from stem cell research. It defines exactly what stem cells are and how their capabilities can be harnessed and applied to treat chronic human diseases and degenerative diseases. He then presents favorable and opposing views that question his progress and reviews the role that government plays in this issue (Stem Cell Research). There is significant scientific information that supports the potential of stem cells to treat, and even cure, various diseases plaguing humanity. Through much research and testing, it was learned that stem cells can also restore lost functions in different parts of the body. They can also be used to replace cut or damaged body parts, which will be grown outside the body and then implanted to replace those that are no longer functional or missing. It is because of these possibilities that the government should fund embryonic stem cell research in order to continue its progress and continue to advance possible treatments for diseases, restoration of lost functions in certain parts of the body and the possibility of pushing back a severed or damaged body. parts.According to the article “Stem Cell Research,” stem cells are unlike any others in the entire human body. The trait they possess that differentiates them from other cells is their ability to transform into any other type of cell. This means that the brain, blood, kidneys and all other organs can be treated with stem cells. This trait qualifies them as pluripotent; this condition also allows them to be reproduced constantly. Once replicated, these cells can be injected into different parts of the body to help rebuild and repair damaged tissues (Stem...... middle of paper...... Springer Publishing Company, 2009.
