Our world today further develops into the future to improve our lifestyle and health, and one of the largest science advances that scientists are striving to achieve is upon the Stem Cell research on regenerating damaged tissues in the heart. In addition, therapies that can rebuild or replace damaged cells with tissues grown from stem cells, are discovered and experimented to save more individuals undergoing and suffering heart disease, damage, and disorders. Also, stem cells such as the adult and embryonic stem cells lead scientists into the route of new discoveries of testing or drugs, and is also a fundamental initiative of the research that is helping scientists to understand the basis of the human body. This stem cell research on regenerating …show more content…
Traditionally, people who undergo heart attack has been receiving lifelong therapies, medications, and other treatments in order for the heart to work efficiently, and to prevent another attack ("Repairing the Heart with Stem Cells-Harvard Health."). However, this new discovery of stem cells is a hope for millions waiting for their implication. Accordingly, the steady flow of the oxygen rich blood in the heart helps nourish and pump blood from the heart muscle; during a heart attack it is interrupted through a blockage in an artery ("Repairing the Heart with Stem Cells-Harvard Health."). Without blood due to the blockage, the area of the heart that …show more content…
It can also avoid and replace the traditional method of heart transplant and medical treatment that has been the only solution to help prevent this problem (Bhatnagar). Furthermore, this ability to control how stem cells can specialise to form and regenerate the various tissues in our body can lead to major advances in healthcare. Further research into this study on stem cells; its application and role in our body can greatly improve our understanding on the basis of our human body. This is important as it can positively impact the medical care that we receive today, along with change in the ways drugs are made and tested. Moreover, the capability that stem cells have; multiplying indefinitely with the equal amount of potential and more specialised daughter cells allows the creation of differentiated and undifferentiated cells and tissues for transplantation, such as the heart (Stem Cell Therapy: The Ethical Issues.). However, this research and these cells involve the use of human embryos and cadaveric fetal tissue, and if the cultivation of the cells is a donated embryo, it is ethical to permit this research as it does not portray lack of respect for the embryo. These donated embryos will be created for use in a reproductive technology programme where it’s purpose would
