Embryonic Stem Cell Research

Paper Summary:

In this paper, the author cites reasons for embryonic stem cell research to be practiced in the United States. The author points out the benefits of stem cell research in curing serious illnesses and conditions. Also discussed are the positive outcomes of stem cell procedures in other countries. The author concludes that the US government's decision not to pursue stem cell research hinders progress in medical research.

From the Paper:

"Embryonic stem cell research is the research of cells extracted from the embryonic stem to be manipulated into specialized cells. Stem cells can be acquired from embryos and still born fetuses. Today, scientists hope that embryonic stem cells can cure many serious diseases that plague our world. This has convinced me that this type of stem cell research should be allowed in the United States."
