It has been a long-standing question for the human race whether embryonic stem cells should be used to cure disease; it will also examine the pros and cons of using stem cells to cure any form of disease. Stem cells have the extraordinary ability to grow into numerous dissimilar cell forms in the body during the premature life cycles. Also, stem cells tissues assist in repairing systems. Embryonic stem cells, as their name put forward, are derived from embryos. The vast majority of embryonic stem cells are resulted from embryos that develop from eggs that have been fertilized in vitro. They are not derived from eggs fertilized in a woman's body.
Firstly, an egg cell is being fertilized by a sperm, which enables it to divide and become an embryo. Within the embryo there are stem cells that are capable of becoming any of the various cell types of the human body. In order to examine scientists get embryos in two different way. For countless numbers of couples in vitro fertilization is the only way to have a child. During this procedure, a couple’s sperms and eggs are fertilized in a culture dish. Next, the eggs will develop into embryos, which are then implanted in the female. Nevertheless, embryos are usually frozen and stored for future use. Numerous numbers of couples donate their unused embryos to scientist for stem cell research purpose. The second way in which specialist get embryos is by therapeutic cloning. The method combines a cell (from the patient that are in needs of stem cell therapy) with a donor egg. In order to grow stem cells, specialists eliminate them from the blastocyst (An embryo that has developed for five to six days after fertilization), grow them in a nutrient- rich solution) in a petri dish in...

...tial of adult stem cells, which have already been used to successfully cure many diseases. They also argue that not enough consideration has been given to the potential of umbilical cord blood for stem cell research. It also shows that no cures have been produced by embryonic stem cell therapy, at this moment of phase.

In my opinion there are many disadvantages to this submission. Nevertheless, if scientists are willing to take on this challenge of using stem cells to cure disease; before scientists could apply this will be many issues to consider, such as the ethical edges and the viewpoints. However, coming from a religious background personally, I am against the idea of using stem cells to cure any forms of diseases. This is mainly due to the fact we are destroying other human beings life to cure other person. Surely there are other ways to help cure disease.
