Stem cell research is probably one of the most debated issues today. I believe that most of Americans believe that the results that stem cell research can bring is good, but it is where the cells come from that is causing the debates. Scientist are doing research with stem cells to help with treatment or even possibly cures in many disease such as Parkinson’s disease, different types of cancer, and Multiple Sclerosis. There have been many publicized events on stem cell research. The most recent wa

The supporters of stem cell research say that eventually organ transplant could be done without the sacrifice of another person losing an organ. Scientists want to be able to grow organs and limbs in the laboratory, but they can’t unless they have the cells to do it with. Supports argue that the research will help in the study of new treatments for a wide range of human diseases like diabetes, heart disease and Parkinson’s disease. Michael J. Fox, who has Parkinson’s, spoke to congress about the importance of stem cell research. He says “this research offers the potential to eliminate disease and literally save millions of lives, but it is time to act now on what we’ve learned.’’ (Time, Jun. 2000). Supporters also argue that not only may it cure many diseases, but also it will stop birth defects, infertility and pregnancy loss. A more complete understanding of normal development will ultimately allow the prevention or treatment of abnormal human development.

As a nursing student the science part of the stem cell research fascinates me, but it is the moral and ethical issue is where I get stuck. I
