Embryonic Stem Cell Research By Brandon Payne
Embryonic stem cell research is very controversial and should be publicly funded and less regulated in the United States for many reasons. Thesis of Paper
Embryonic Stem Cell Research has already given results • “Brain Drain” in the US • Potential Cures • Opposition • Shadowing Points of Paper
Useful for variety of reasons • Stem Cell “spray bottle” for burns • Stem Cell gene therapy for cancer patients Current Applications
Has resulted In many scientists leaving the country for better research conditions • Europe has become less regulated and therefor many have traveled there • University of California, San Fransico, lead researcher moved to University of Cambridge in England. Brain Drain in US
Destroying blastocysts is killing a potential person • Now scientists can get the blastocysts from left In Vitro Fertilization Clinics • Scientists are “Playing God” • Scientists are working on cures Opposition- Moral/Religious Reasons
Senior Research Professor at NC State for Horticulture, Serge Krasnyansky • Replaces certain genes in plants with others • Bacteria used to switch DNA Shadowing
Plaster model of a blastocyst • Tennis balls-embryoblast • Shell-Trophoblast • Empty Space- Blastocyst Cavity Product
Project does fill an information gap • Displays information on stem cell research so audience can take an informed position on the subject Information Gap
