Stem cells are special cells are basically blank cells which we have in our bone marrow that could be used and coaxed to turn into different cells in our body. Cloning is used to get stem cells, or to even get organs to cure diseases and disorders. The three articles I chose discuss theses matters.

The first article is from the New York Times, March 7th 2003. The headline reads “Doctors use bone marrow stem cells to repair a heart” the news article talks about repairing the heart of a 16 year old boy, Dmitri Bonnville, whom was shot by a nail gun which pierced one of the pumping chambers of his heart, which lead to a heart attack due to the swelling and the pressing of the coronary artery. From research, doctors knew that stem cells taken from the bone marrow was proven to repair organs in animals, but was never tried on humans yet. Operations like this on humans was neve

Basically this article is just an introduction in what these scientists and researchers are hope to see from their research of stem cells, and what has been done in the past. The tone of the article is all very half hearted, as these scientists do not want to state anything inaccurate until results prove in what they have been researching on.

r done in the United States but doctors were preparing to try it, until Dmitris case rolled in which made him the perfect candidate to test it on. Instead of going through the excruciating procedure of extracting the stem cells from the bone marrow, doctors harvested the stem cells from the boy’s white blood cells which also captures the bone marrow stem cells in the bloodstream, and inject the stem cells into the coronary artery that supplies blood to the heart.

Now, the same scientists campaigned to be permitted to research or cloning, thus doing exactly what they said was immoral. Clone human embryos are created for the sole purpose of harvesting its stem cells for research.
