Abstract
This paper examines one of the most controversial issues of the early 21st century, which is that of stem cell research. According to the paper, as the technology grows, more and more news headlines are generated. The paper further addresses why this is such an attention-grabbing and controversial issue. Various reasons are cited, such as the issue of the sanctity of human life, deriving from the fact that stem cells most commonly are harvested from human embryos. Second, there is the issue of medical researchers' commitment to alleviate suffering by combating disease.

From the Paper
"Since 1998, scientists have been able to isolate embryonic stem cells from human embryos. It is believed that this offers an enormous potential for medical research breakthroughs, with the potential to kill many dread diseases. However, stem cell research is highly controversial as it requires us to find an ethical balance between the sanctity of human life (as embodied by embryos) on the one hand, and the imperative for medical researchers to find cures for disease, on the other hand. This paper examines the two primary ethical responses to the issue, i.e. Unitarianism..."

Abstract
This paper examines stem cells and cancer research. It compares a popular press article and a scientific publication. It compares content, accuracy, presentation and other factors.

Abstract
This paper is a proposal for a paper on stem cell research that clarifies the debate by examining stem cell journals such as "Stem Cells" and "The Oncologist" along with sources outside the medical community such as Dr. Tullio Simoncini and "Natural News" to develop a factual profile of the real properties and potentials of embryonic vs. adult stem cells with respect to their plasticity and the breakthrough modalities other than stem cell research that can offer solutions for serious diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and Parkinson's disease.

From the Paper
"The debate over stem cell research pivots not just on the ethical issue of the destruction of living embryos to supply embryonic stem cell research with biomaterial, but also with the difference in efficacy of stem cell research conducted with embryonic versus adult stem cells. With prominent politicians and celebrities arguing forcefully for the need for embryonic stem cell research, the real issue of stem cell plasticity is largely overlooked and little understood by the general public. Moreover, non-researchers are for the most part unaware..."

Abstract
The paper looks at how stem cell therapy is offering plenty of promise in fighting degenerative diseases like cancer, Parkinson's and cardiovascular disease. More than that, the paper looks at the ethical criticisms leveled against stem cell research and therapy; the paper subsequently presents a brief delineation of why these criticisms are not as valid as their advocates may believe. In any case, the majority of the paper is then devoted to highlighting the positive advances that have been made in stem cell therapy for cancer, Parkinson's, and cardiovascular disease. The paper concludes that the benefits definitely appear to outweigh the risks.

Abstract
The topic of this paper is the emerging use of stem cells to study and perhaps treat certain diseases using stem cells. The writer concentrates on the use of stem cell therapy in three major disease/syndrome areas that involve some cancers, Parkinson's disease, and cardiovascular and peripheral vascular diseases.

From the Paper
"Although there are a number of diseases and genetic conditions which may be susceptible to stem cell therapy, this paper will cover three major disease/syndrome areas: some cancers (to be outlined), Parkinson's disease, and cardiovascular and peripheral vascular diseases (which includes stroke and associated vascular problems)."

Abstract
"All of a sudden stem cells appear to be everywhere. They are the focus of conversations from Washington to Main Street. Everyone has an opinion and everybody is a scientist. Federal restrictions to funding stem cell research are set to be released by the current Obama Administration. In doing so the President is unleashing a torrent of controversy and debate between those who view utilizing stem cells as the destruction of innocent life and those who view stem cell research as necessary to the development of cures for diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes and Alzheimer's.

The Great Stem Cell Debate Introduction All of a sudden stem cells appear to be everywhere. They are the focus of conversations from Washington to Main Street.

Abstract
This paper takes a position on stem cell research. It presents the evidence for continuing to do stem cells research and some of the possible uses for the technology. It details some successes to date and explains why it is so important that the research continue.

From the Paper
"Stem cell research is still a somewhat controversial issue because of the use of embryonic stem cells. Those who carry out research using embryonic stem cells do so because these are the only currently available pluripotent cells and so are capable of differentiating into any cell type found in the human body. Those who oppose stem cell research do so on religious and moral grounds, on the basis that destroying an embryo to get the cells is the same as destroying a life. However, the embryos used..."

Abstract
Stem cell research is controversial in the medical as well as the religious community.This paper attempts to show how there are are many benefits to using stem cells that can help save lives. It illustrates these points and shows how many people can be helped by stem cells such as people with heart disease and diabetes.

From the Paper
"Research from scientist and stem cells will be able to help people with cancer. Researchers from Texas have found a method to by-pass healthy tissue and deliver cancer treatment into the tumors. The study as been performed on mice, but Dr. Michael Andreeff hopes to do trials on humans soon. The research team used a known anti- cancer drug called beta, but it could not be used the side effect of this beta was toxic and the effects of the drug would soon dissipate after the initial injection. However the researchers used stem cells and manipulated them to encode the interferon beta gene."

Abstract
This paper presents a close look at stem cell research. The writer examines both sides of the issue and argues that stem cell research is a positive medical breakthrough, highly beneficial to those suffering from a variety of diseases.

From the Paper
"The world of medicine has grown in leaps and bounds for the last few decades. We have come very far in many areas and we are now on the threshold of exploding new developments that promise to revolutionize the industry. Stem cell research has been receiving a lot of media coverage as of late, some promoting the process, while others are against it. Stem cell research is an exciting new development that is going to be able to save lives."
