Stem Cell: TO research or Not TO research that is the question.

the following is a outline for a paper i have to write. (High school) feel free to rebuttal gives me material and a GOOD debate! :) Although social conservatives of the United States resist an existence of a comprehensive plan for the development of stem cell research- rationales such as: treatment for terminal illnesses, regeneration of damage or lost organs, and the research and identification of alternative totipotent cells all to a mandatory, extensive development of stem cell research in the coming years. What is a Stem Cell? 1.Stem Cell is a generic term for a collection of cells called pluripotent cells. (pluri- meaning "many" in Latin, and Potent meaning "powerful".) 2.These "stem cells" can be classified by their "ability" transform into explicit functional cells (ie neurons, muscle cells, red blood cells). 3.A totipotent cell differentiates into any of the cells allocated in the body. 4.Mainstream media and the President of the United States labeled Stem Cells as "Embryonic Stem Cell (totipotent)." Which is a VERY slandering vindication on regenerative medicine. 5.There are many other ways to culture stem cells, for example in Deciuous teeth, umbilical cord blood, and the placenta. These Alternative methods are called Non-Embryonic Stem Cells. 6.Here is a flow chart-> Bush and others don't like Embryonic Stem Cell-> Bush & Media Use term Stem Cell too loosely-> grants and funding is blocked to Almost ALL federal funded stem cell research as a fallout because little is understood by the public even the POTUS; this is an effect of the loosely used term. Why do we oppose it? President George Walker Bush Speech given to the Press in 2001: "…Stem cells raises profound ethical questions, because extracting the stem cell destroys the embryo, and thus destroys its potential for life." Noted here that Mr. Bush blurs the line that distinguishes the differences between non-embryonic stem cell and embryonic stem cell. i.Oppositions of Stem Cell find their basis mainly upon personal religious believes. These personal believes should remain just that: personal. ii.Oppositions say that "[they] believe human life is a sacred gift from our Creator." Therefore a "potential" for human life should not be jeopardized by a "hope" that the further devolvement of Regenerative Medicine can indeed save lives. iii.Oppositions have successfully vetoed stem cell funding bills on numerous occasions; dispute a majority support for such a bill. a.Stem Cell Research Enchantment Act of 2005 i.The bill passed the House (HR810) by a vote of 238 to 194 on May 24, 2005 ii.The bill passed the Senate by a vote of 63 to 37 on July 18, 2006. b.Stem Cell Research Enchantment Act of 2007 i.The bill passed the Senate (S.5)on April 11, 2007 by a vote of 63-34 ii.The bill passed the House on June 7, 2007 by a vote of 247-176. iv.Oppositions usually define themselves as active white religious characters. Those whom object an expansion of stem cell research also demonstrate a parallel stance on anti-abortion laws; both subjects illustrate violations to a right to life -- as in accordance to the fundaments of Biblical teachings. v.Today we define these "Oppositions" as Social Conservatives or Compassionate Conservatives; they operate under a so called "faith-based initiatives." vi.Today Americans largely define the centerpiece of a compassionate conservative with a portrait of George W. Bush—a moron; sorry I can't help it. Good things that can come. 1)Use of a therapeutic stem cell treatment has been used in practice since the 1950's (believe or not!) 2)In the late 50's Dr. Edward Donnall Thomas of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center developed a surgical procedure in the field of hematology called Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation. 3)This pioneering modus operandi later presented Dr Thomas with a Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine. 4)Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation, HSCT for short, is a widely practiced medical treatment in modern medicine (whether you are aware of it or not!) it is known as a treatment for 30 different congenital and acquired illnesses including: i)Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia ii)Amyloidosis iii)Sickle Cell Disease iv)Aplastic Anemia 5)Sound familiar? Yes, HSCT is also known as Bone Marrow Transplant; a stem cell discovered through advancement in research that have since save Millions of lives across the WORLD. 6)A list of disease treatable by HSCT is as follows: i.Acute lymphoblastic leukemia ii.Acute lymphocytic leukemia iii.Acute myelogenous leukemia iv.Adrenoleukodystrophy v.AL amyloidosis vi.Amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia vii.Aplastic anemia viii.chronic lymphocytic leukemia ix.Chronic myelogenous leukemia (accelerated phase or blast crisis) x.Desmoplastic small round cell tumor xi.Essential thrombocytosis xii.Ewing's sarcoma xiii.Griscelli syndrome type II xiv.Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) xv.Hodgkin's disease xvi.Hurler syndrome xvii.Kostmann syndrome xviii.Krabbe disease xix.Metachromatic leukodystrophy xx.Multiple myeloma (Kahler's disease) xxi.Myelodysplasia xxii.Neuroblastoma xxiii.Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma xxiv.Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH; severe aplasia) xxv.Polycythemia vera xxvi.Radiation poisoning xxvii.Sickle cell disease xxviii.Thalassemia xxix.Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome 1.In the future; if our government allows it Stem Cell therpies show a promising treatment for many neurodegenerative diseases—because of a stem cell's innate ability to differentiate into Neurons. 2.The following are but a few of Neurodegenerative diseases treatable by stem cells: i.Alexander disease ii.Alper's disease iii.Alzheimer's disease iv.Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis v.Ataxia telangiectasia vi.Batten disease (also known as Spielmeyer-Vogt-Sjogren-Batten disease) vii.Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) viii.Canavan disease ix.Cockayne syndrome x.Corticobasal degeneration xi.Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease xii.Huntington's disease xiii.HIV-associated dementia xiv.Kennedy's disease xv.Krabbe disease xvi.Lewy body dementia xvii.Machado-Joseph disease (Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3) xviii.Multiple sclerosis xix.Multiple System Atrophy xx.Narcolepsy xxi.Neuroborreliosis xxii.Parkinson disease xxiii.Pelizaeus-Merzbacher Disease xxiv.Pick's disease xxv.Primary lateral sclerosis xxvi.Prion diseases xxvii.Refsum's disease xxviii.Sandhoff disease xxix.Schilder's disease xxx.Subacute combined degeneration of spinal cord secondary to Pernicious Anaemia xxxi.Schizophrenia xxxii.Spielmeyer-Vogt-Sjogren-Batten disease (also known as Batten disease) xxxiii.Spinocerebellar ataxia (multiple types with varying characteristics) xxxiv.Spinal muscular atrophy xxxv.Steele-Richardson-Olszewski disease xxxvi.Tabes dorsalis
