Thesis: Stem cell research is one of the most important and groundbreaking advancements made in medicine and scientists should be able to pursue research freely until we reach a point where the benefits of stem cell research can be reaped by everyone who is in need of it.
"Couples Willing to Give Embryos to Research." Chicago Tribune 21 June 2007: 18. Newsbank. Oakton Community College library, skokie,il. 25 June 2007 <http://infoweb.newsbank.com>. The Tribune reports on a recent study done by John Hopkins University that polled 2000 couples who have embryos in storage at fertility clinics, asking them if they would be willing to donate the embryos to stem cell research. An overwhelming majority of the coulpes said are in favor of their embryos going towards research. The study also found that people would rather have the embryos go to research instead of to other couples who are undergoing fertility treatments. This information will offer great support for my argument and can also be helpful in refuting the opposing sides argument.
"Dobson: Media Coverage on Stem-Cell Issue a 'Scandal'" Christian Examiner Aug. 2004. 11 July 2007 <christianexaminer.com>. The Christian Examiner offers an account of a speech made by Dr. James C. Dobson to the National Press Club on June 25, 2004. Dobson strongly opposes embryonic stem cell research and critizes the media for making supposed false claims about ESC's. I will present Dobson's view on stem cells in the opposing argument section of my paper. I will also give evidence that refutes his assertions.
Hoffman, William. "Stem Cell Policy: World Stem Cell Map." MBBNet. 14 July 2007. University of minnesota medical school. <http://mbbnet.umn.edu/>. This website provides a map illustrating which countries have a permissive or flexible policy on stem cell research. It also shows how much money each country allocates to stem cell research. This information will be helpful when I introduce my topic and compare U.S.'s stem cell research policy with the rest of the world.
Lavelle, Etain. "Blair Lures Scientists as Bush Ban Stalls Science." Bloomberg. 01 Feb. 2006. 17 July 2007 <www.bloomberg.com>. This article reports on the U.K.'s efforts to advance stem cell research by providing $177 million in funding. Also discusses the U.S.'s restrictive policy on stem cell research and how this is driving many fed up scientists to the U.K. This article provides a good comparison of the U.S. and U.K.'s policies on stem cell's which will be very helpful in my introduction. The information provided will also prove to be useful in my argument because it provides an interesting insight into the reasons for Bush's ban against stem cell research.

Discussion: Ethical Dimensions of Research Studies
In the best-selling book, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks (Skloot, 2010), the author highlights the true story of an African-American woman who died in 1951 from cervical cancer. What makes her story unique is that prior to her death, cells from her tumor were removed and successfully grown in a petri dish. This was the first time scientists were able to successfully replicate cells outside the body, and it is estimated that billions of Lacks’ cells have been used in medical research. However, Henrietta Lacks was never asked for permission to take a sample and her family was never made aware of the widespread use of her cells. Although the culturing of her cells has been pivotal for advancing research, strong ethical concerns later arose about using these cells without patient or family approval.
This week’s readings describe historical examples of unethical research, such as a study of syphilis among African-American men in which treatment was withheld and a study in which live cancer cells were injected into elderly patients. Today, stricter controls that seek to protect study participants are placed on researchers, but breaches still occur. Careful attention must be given toward preventing unethical behavior. In this Discussion, you explore ethical considerations and issues in research.
To prepare:
Select a current health-related case involving research ethics. (If none come to mind, browse the Internet to familiarize yourself with recent cases.)
As you review the case that you have selected, reflect on the ethical principles discussed in “What Are the Major Ethical Issues in Conducting Research?” article found in this week’s Learning Resources. Which principles were breached in the case you have identified?
Post a description of the case that you selected and the ethical issues involved. Analyze the ethical principles that were breached by the researchers or organizations in your selected case as well as the possible cause of the breach(es). Suggest how the research might have been conducted differently to avoid or minimize the ethical problems. Discuss how research can be done on sensitive issues while still protecting the rights of the research subjects.
Read a selection of your colleagues’ responses.
Respond to at least two of your colleagues on two different days using one or more of the following approaches:
Ask a probing question, substantiated with additional background information, and evidence.
Offer and support an alternative perspective using readings from the classroom or from your own review of the literature in the Walden Library.
Make a suggestion based on additional evidence drawn from readings or after synthesizing multiple postings.

1. Liras, Antonio. “Future Research and Therapeutic Applications of Human Stem Cells: General, Regulatory, and bioethical aspects.” Journal of Translational Medicine (2010): p131-145. Print.<br />This article is more public oriented with the least amount of jargon. Antonio Liras is a Professor at the University Of Madrid, Spain. This article focuses on stem cell research related to identification of therapeutic targets and potential therapeutic tests as well as biomaterials, production costs, biobanks, biosecurity and the biotechnological industry. Bioethical issues are once again taken into consideration with respect to embryos. This will be beneficial to my paper because it can provide insight as to what other countries are doing to try and move forward with this technology as well as the uses for therapeutic reasons.<br />Robertson, John A. “Embryo Stem Cell Research: Ten Years of Controversy.” Journal of Law, Medicine & Ethics (2010): p191-203. Print and Academic Search Complete.<br />The central theme of this article is to review the moral conflict associated with Embryonic Stem Cells. It allows the general public to learn about legal issues as well as funding and the transition between laboratory and clinical use. The author, John Robertson, graduated from Dartmouth College and Harvard Law School and now holds the Vinson & Elkins Chair at the University Of Texas School Of Law at Austin. Within this article, he explains how difficult it is to keep law separate from scientific innovation as well the highly controversial political battles over abortion. He goes on in the article to explain how pro-life and pro-choice views affect stem cell research. This academic article is perfect for my hybrid research paper because it’s written by a professional in the field who explains the bridge between the law and scientific research.<br />“Ten Problems with Embryonic Stem Cell Research.quot;
The Institute for Creation Research. ICR. Web. 27 Mar. 2011. <http://www.icr.org/article/ten-problems-with-embryonic-stem-cell-research/>.<br />This is a pro-life organization that provides biased information about Stem Cell Research and how they obtain the stem cells from the embryos. This intended audience would ideally be a Conservative in the United States. This can help my paper because it allows me to try to understand another person’s view. In this article, it describes ten problems with Embryonic Stem Cells.<br />Winickoff, David E. “Bioethics and Stem Cell Banking in California.” Berkeley Technology Law Journal (2006): p1067-1105, 39. Print and EBSCOhost.<br />David E. Winickoff is an associate professor at the University of California , Berkeley working in areas such as Ethics, Law and Politics of Technology, International and Environmental Health Regimes, Innovation in systems and institutions as well as Humanities and the Environment. He works with his students to analyze the politics of health and the environment to better address the most pressing environmental and health problems in our nation. The intended audience for this academic journal is the general public, but there is a small amount of biology jargon being used. This work illuminated my topic because David begins to bring the publicity of stem cell research in California to the forefront. He explains that the November 2004 approved funding for the California Stem Cell Research and Cures Initiative marked a sea of change in the future research and funding for the future of stem cell research. It is mentioned that this will have a strong influence on how stem cell research are regulated nationwide. California’s decision will help to fuel a nationwide spark to make stem cell research available in the clinical level. This is different from the article written by Robertson because it focuses more on the funding aspect.<br />quot;
What Are the Potential Uses of Human Stem Cells and the Obstacles That Must Be Overcome before These Potential Uses Will Be Realized? [Stem Cell Information].quot;
NIH Stem Cell Information Home Page. National Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 28 Apr. 2000. Web. 27 Mar. 2011. http://stemcells.nih.gov/info/basics/basics6.asp<br />This website provides a lot of information geared towards the general public about Stem Cell Research. It allows people to learn a lot about the positive and negative issues associated with Stem Cell Research, particularly embryonic stem cells. This is overall a fantastic, well-written source for my paper because it gives the facts without straying too much into the politics discussion. This is a government-funded organization so there tends to be a high credibility for the doctors working there.<br />
