Stem cell research offers potential benefits for treating diseases like cancer, neurological disorders, and skin damage. It may provide cures through cell replacement and regeneration of tissues. However, some argue that using embryonic stem cells is unethical as it involves destroying embryos. While opponents see no moral issue as embryos are just clusters of cells at early stages. Overall stem cell research promises progress but also debates around its application that require ethical guidelines.
Stem-cell therapy in medicine–how far we came and what we can expect?Apollo Hospitals
The name ‘stem-cell’ is making the news in recent times both for good and not. The current articles tries to give a snap shot of the scientific and clinical picture of stem-cells in medicine as of today and discuss what it have to offer in the to the mankind. The article discusses the characters and types of stem-cells, their current indication in therapeutics (both established and upcoming), as well as their use in research. It also gives a brief overview of the current laws guiding its use in clinical practice and the various cultural beliefs associated with the use of same.

Embryonic stem cells – Promises and IssuesTania Jabin
Introduction, Embryonic Stem Cells, Promises of Embryonic Stem cell research, Figure: The Promise of Stem Cell Research, Issues in Embryonic Stem cells - New embryonic stem cell lines from frozen embryos Informed consent for donation of materials for stem cell research Waiver of consent Consent from gamete donors Confidentiality of donor information Ethical concerns about oocyte donation for research (1. Medical risks of oocyte retrieval, 2. Protecting the reproductive interests of women in infertility treatment, 3. Payment to oocyte donors, 4. Informed consent for oocyte donation).
1. TheLatestRecoveryInvention Life may take many serious routes to stand against diseases. Several efforts have been made since man`s existence on earth in order to save lives that are threatened by cancer, genetic diseases, tragic accidents, or other medical conditions. One of these efforts is stem cell research.
2. Stem cells have the ability to divide and renew themselves. They are also unspecialized cells that produce specialized cells; such as, blood, bone marrow cells, nerve cells, or any other cells depending on the type of tissues or organs (“Stem Cell Basics”). Stem Cell Research
3. Thehopeofstemcellresearch Scientists agree that it is possible to save human life through stem cells derived from embryo. Imagine how life is, if we are able to save our loved ones from diseases that cause pain and even death.
4. Stem Cell Debate This research may offer an incredible benefit to the future of human beings; still, there are people who are against the research.
5. StemCellResearch People against stem cells say that the embryos of human beings should not be used for study because it is immoral to perform such research for the sake of saving another human life. The other side feels differently about the research because the collection of several cells in vitro is not considered a human being; they are simply divided cells.
6. Latest Recovery Invention Stem cell research is a new avenue for new therapeutic methods in the health of human beings because it can find cure to cancer and nervous system disorders, help in organ transplantation field, and help in the cosmetic field.
7. StemCellsinCancerandNervoussystem Stem cell research offers hope to treat cancer through new technology ,by attacking the abnormal cancer stem cells ,and eliminating cancers in its first stage (Adams). Studies in the field of nervous systems expect that stem cells can replace and bind the neurotic cells in the brain and spinal cord giving new hope to find a cure to brain damage or other nervous system disorders; such as, Parkinson`s disease
8. StemCellinOrganTransplantation . The possibilities of stem cells offer help in this field because embryonic stem cells have the ability to develop any type of cells and become part of that body (“Autoimmune Diseases”). A hope to overcome the immune rejection through stem cell is great, and this means a new chance for those who lost hope to live because of organ failure.
9. Stem Cell in Cosmetic Field The cosmetic field has a wide applications for stem cell technology. Many studies about skin repair play a very important role in stem cell research. They are trying to replace small wounds with new skin tissue.
10. Stem cell and cosmetic The ability to use new healthy skin tissue could be a new avenue to this field of treating damaged tissue or organ because it can end the suffering of many people (“Landmark Research”). Further study on stem cells involves the recovery of old skin and a delay in aging. The diseases that involve skin tissue will have a cure in the future. Psychological problems associated with facial scars could be avoided, and no one`s life would stop because of inability to make progress in the cosmetic field.
