Recommended: In vitro fertilization

Human embryos deserve respect as any other human being does they should be treated like everyone else they should have the chance to live. They have the possibilities to become a fetus a human. They have a life you can't just take it from them. The use of embryonic stem-cells had not yet been proven to be successful. A Lot of people are against this research their haven't been many success stories about the stem-cells curing diseases. There is no telling how many embry scientist goes through a day. No one know the long term side effect of the embryo. Newer technologies exist that can create identical embryonic types stem-cells without them using embryos. It wastes resources that could be used on something we really need. It might be decades

  • The Moral Status of the Fetus in Abortion

    1684 Words  | 4 Pages

    Imagine…the birth of a human being into the world. 9 months of endless anticipation leading to someone’s first chance at seeing the world for the first time. While some enjoy the result of a pregnancy, leading to a new human being entering life, some are not so fond, or just can’t be in such a situation. Abortion is the supposed “cure” to this problem and is, for the most part, done safely. However, one of the factors stopping someone from committing an abortion is the consideration of moral status on the child.

  • Use of Human Fetal Tissue in Research is Morally Repugnant

    2072 Words  | 5 Pages

    Research on human fetal life involves numerous complex medical, moral, and legal aspects. It is not always easy, nor desirable, to seal off one aspect from another. Both sides of fetal tissue use will be equally focused on as a moral issue. The topic is a timely and important one because research on human fetal life is reportedly a growing industry and the subject of legal developments both in the United States and around the world.

    Late one night a woman is driving home on the freeway, she’s hit head on by a drunk driver and killed. The man is charged with two accounts of murder; the woman, and her four-week-old embryo inside her. By law, everyone human being is guaranteed rights of life; born or unborn they are equal. The same law should be enforced concerning human embryonic stem cell research. Dr. James A. Thomson discovered stem cells in 1998 and they’ve intrigued scientist ever since. The stem cells themselves are derived from a three to four day old cluster of cells called a blastocyst and they are so coveted because they are pluripotent, meaning they can differentiate into any type of cell in the human body. Although embryonic stem cells show amazing potential to cure various disease such as cancer, congestive heart failure, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, muscular dystrophies, and more. The methods by which they are obtained is controversial. Research on embryonic stem cells is unethical, unnecessary, and purely homicide.

  • Should Frozen Embryos be Considered Human

    378 Words  | 1 Pages

    In my point of view, a human life starts when a mom gives birth to her child. The realization of a human life begins when a child first cries or first opens the eyes. Those are the most beautiful and precious gift in the whole world. I don't agree with the idea that the frozen embryos should be viewed as human. For example, if a doctor can not succeed in implanting the frozen embryos into a woman's body, and they are expelled, would he be arrested as a murder? The answer is no. According to the article, ."..the longest recorded freezing of an embryo that was successfully implanted in a woman was twenty-eight months." Therefore, the frozen embryos can be disposed of by time if nobody is going to implant them into a woman's body. They are just some undifferentiated cells.

    Many Christian-funded embryo adoption centers accept embryo donations free of charge so they can match them up with other couples experiencing the struggles of infertility (Christian Embryobank, 2016). Embryo adoption, is essentially like adopting a child, even if the terminology is not always the same. For starters, many women want to experience the joy of carrying a baby in their womb, and embryo adoption can allow them to do that. Christian Embryo bank, 2016).

    Currently, the limitations on research are too restricting, as researchers are limited to resources already gathered. There are sixty existing stem cell lines today, already derived from embryos. Researchers are to only use these lines. These limitations severely hinder stem cell research. The government, especially President Bush, should re-evaluate stem cell research.

    The advancement and continued developments of third-party assisted reproductive medical practices has allowed many prospective parents, regardless of their marital status, age, or sexual orientation, to have a new opportunity for genetically or biologically connected children. With these developments come a number of rather complex ethical issues and ongoing discussions regarding assisted reproduction within our society today. These issues include the use of reproductive drugs, gestational services such as surrogacy as well as the rights of those seeking these drugs and services and the responsibilities of the professionals who offer and practice these services.

  • The Pros And Cons Of Aborted Fetuses

    When families are eating dinner the last thing they think about is how and where their food comes from. Even if they did think about it, they would never in a million years guess that what they are consuming could potentially be related to abortions and human fetuses. Apparently some major food companies have been fooling with the genes of human fetal matter in order to create better tasting food products. This sounds grotesque and surely it cannot be true, well it both is, and isn’t true, all at the same time.

  • Designer Babies: What is Ethical?

    992 Words  | 2 Pages

    Imagine a parent walking into what looks like a conference room. A sheet of paper waits on a table with numerous questions many people wish they had control over. Options such as hair color, skin color, personality traits and other physical appearances are mapped out across the page. When the questions are filled out, a baby appears as he or she was described moments before. The baby is the picture of health, and looks perfect in every way. This scenario seems only to exist in a dream, however, the option to design a child has already become a reality in the near future. Parents may approach a similar scenario every day in the future as if choosing a child’s characteristics were a normal way of life. The use of genetic engineering should not give parents the choice to design their child because of the act of humans belittling and “playing” God, the ethics involved in interfering with human lives, and the dangers of manipulating human genes.

  • Embryonic Stem Cell Research Persuasive Essay

    2065 Words  | 5 Pages

    Could you imagine being able to create new organs, tissues, muscles, and even food? With embryonic stem cell technology, believe it or not, these things are possible. Stem cells are the body's raw materials. Specifically, they are cells from which all other cells with specialized functions are generated. Under the right conditions in the body or in a laboratory, stem cells can divide to form more cells called daughter cells. These daughter cells either become new stem cells or turn into specialized cells with a more specific function, such as blood cells, brain cells, muscle cells or bone cells. The possibilities are almost endless. The debate and main issue with this technology is that the actual stem cells come from embryos. Embryos are an unborn or unhatched offspring in the process of development. Although there is controversy surrounding these cells, embryonic stem cells should continue to be researched and used, because they have so much potential.

  • Moral and Ethical Issues Relating to Stem Cells Research

    853 Words  | 2 Pages

    Stem cells offer exciting promise for future therapies, but significant technical hurdles remain that will only be overcome through years of intensive research. Stem Cells have the incredible potential to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth. Scientists primarily work with two kinds of stem cells from animals and humans. The embryonic stem cells and the non-embryonic stem cells. Stem cells are the cells from which all other cells originate. In a human embryo, a large portion of the embryo’s cells are stem cells. These stem cells can be used for cell-based therapies. Cell-Based therapies are treatments in which stem cells are induced to differentiate into the specific cell type required to repair damaged or destroyed cells or tissues. Stem cells are versatile and offer the possibility to treat a number of diseases including Alzheimer’s, stroke, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, etc. The problem is that for the process of embryonic stem cell research and embryo will be destroyed if used. This raises a moral issue and questions of whether stem cell research is unethical or not.
