TEXT – STEM CELLS
What are stem cells?
Stem cells are the “master cells” of the human
body that have the potential to develop into almost any type of cell.
They can be obtained in laboratories, and, in
theory, can morph into nerve tissue, blood, hear muscle and even brain cells.
Researchers demonstrated for example that bone marrow cells can become liver
cells.
Cells can be implanted into our bodies to
repair the damage cause by illnesses like heart diseases, Parkinson’s and
Alzheimer’s diseases, and many others.
In the future, stem cells are going to grow
into complete organs like the kidneys, the liver etc.
Where do they come from?
True stem cells, come from human embryos, but
they can also be found in adult tissue.
The ethical issue
The problem begins when the scientists remove
the cells from the embryos. When they do that, they destroy the embryo.
Pro-life groups argue that this is immoral
because when an embryo is destroyed a life is destroyed.
Scientists and researchers, however, emphasize
the importance of the stem cell research. They say it is going to help millions
of people.
