Praise for stem cell research Stem cell research is the new obsession within science, and with good reason. Funny enough, for such an amazing discovery, the research of stem cells is not supported widely enough. Stem cell research allows us to broaden our understanding of the human body and life, it benefits the economy, and saves lives while improving health. Stem cell research should be continued across the world and the option should be covered by the government.
A major benefit of continuing stem cell research is broadening our understanding of life. Observation of stem cells in labs and clinics, can provide knowledge about normal vs abnormal development, trigger causes of fetal demise, organ and tissue repair and regrowth,

It is known that stem cells are undifferentiated cells that can develop into specialized cells, reforming organs and tissues. This information can provide for stem cells to be an alternative to organ donation, considering the fact that many patients are dying due to the shortage of donors and organs available. Transplantation of stem cells in the body allows for the cells to adapt and rebuild the damaged tissue or organ, treat and prevent diseases and create new genes. Baseball player, Garrett Richards, suffered from a torn elbow ligament. After being convinced to try a treatment method using stem cells, his recovery time was cut in half and he’s been back on track, pitching with no problems. With his succession, stem cell therapy is gaining acceptance as an option for pitchers. If we continue to test stem cell treatments on athletes, we will discover how to prevent these infractions from occurring in the first place, and ensure to speed up our recovery, keeping us healthy. Stem cells enable a second chance in humans, creating, saving and extending life, ensuring our health. Addressing the controversy about destruction of embryos, at the expense of one’s stem cells and embryos, over a billion people can be saved from terminal illness in the
