Millions of people are suffering from disabilities and illments that not only reduce their pleasure of life, but sometimes cause inability to function as a person or even parent. This plagues our society even in this day of age where almost any illment can be solved. Stem cell research can solve even more of these more difficult and at times deadly dieseases. Stem cell research is what is pushing life changing procedures involving stem cells. Stem cells are capable of dividing multiple times either creating new stem cells or repairing or mimcking any cell type in the body. One defining difference in stem cells are that they are unspecialized cells that can reproduce themselves through cell division even after long periods of time. Another …show more content…

Adult stem cells only allow cells to be taken from a certain body part and then introduced to the same area it was found. This is also a benefit in its own way as it allows for many different cells waiting in storage for a long period of time and still hold its properties. The property that allows embryonic cells to shine is that they allow us to research what areas of the body can be repaired through stem cells. This gives us the ability to find ways to heal new and old deseases that were normally incurable. The ability to have a cell not be rejected when applied to a different area allows more deseases to be cured more effectively, sometimes in time to save lives. Though the moral toll it takes on our community can be detremental. Anyone who uses embryonic stell cells is ridiculed for their decision to better their lives as they believe the being does not yet have its rights and ability to make its own choice. The flaw with not using embryonic though is rare deseases need time to grow cultures to match the area needing aid. This means deseases that are not prepared may not be able to be cured in time and people may be forced to suffer or even lose their
