Ethical Questions Raised
Stem cell research is one of the latest aspects that have come
to light in the field of biotechnology. It has had an enormous
impact in the medicinal. With this new development it
promises to cure even neuro-degenerative diseases like spinal
cord injuries, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.
1. Parkinson’s disease
2. Alzheimer’s
3. Spinal Cord injuries
4. Regeneration of damaged organs
Procedural Aspects of Stem Cell
Research
To fully comprehend the implication of such a question, it is
necessary for us to first understand the process of human
embryonic stem cell research.
In 1974, the Congress Banned nearly all federally funded fetal tissue
research until the National Commission for the Protection of Human
Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioural Research, established by the
National Research Act, devised guidelines for it
Conclusion
To summarise the discussion in this project, it can
be said that while there has been a severe debate
on the ethical, moral and legal aspect of the use of
stem cells as a potential cure, it is hard to ignore its
potential benefits. In the current scenario where
the embryo must be destroyed in order to obtain
the stem cell, it is advisable to look for an alternate
resolution to this.
