Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
used to replace diseased or damaged tissue Point against: Stem cell research is unethical and there are other methods that are likely to achieve the same result IV. Point in
favor: Stem cells are useful in basic embryonic research and may help identify and prevent birth defects Point against: Embryonic stem cell research is never justified, even in this case
V. Point in favor: Stem cells can be used to deliver therapeutic gene therapy to cancer patients Point against: All stem cell research is unjustified Refutation: The arguments against stem
cell research are based, at their core, on religious values. Religion should not interfere with science VI. Conclusion I. Introduction/Thesis Stem cell research holds out great
promise for curing human diseases, but it has also caused a great deal of controversy, possibly because stem cells occur mostly in human embryos and fetuses, though adult stem cells
are also found. People apparently feel reluctant to have fetal or embryonic cells used for research and/or experimentation; or they feel that the entire field is questionable. This paper takes
as its thesis the idea that stem cell research is necessary and should be funded and encouraged. II. Background/history/explanation/definition of issue. Stem cell research "burst on the scientific scene
in November of 1998 when researchers first reported the isolation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs)" (AAAS policy brief: stem cell research, 2007). Stem cells, "which are derived from several-day-old
embryos, can theoretically differentiate into virtually any type of human cell, from blood cells to skin cells" (AAAS policy brief: stem cell research, 2007). Most cells in the human body,
such as skin or heart cells, are "committed to conduct a specific function"; but "a stem cell is uncommitted and remains uncommitted, until it receives a signal to develop into
