  1. Stem Cell Issues By Se-Won

  2. Strength • No biological rejection • More successful transplantations • Claudia Castillo (UK) • Article from the Daily Telegraph

  3. Strength • Cloning • Ian Wilmut (English) created 5 cloned pigs • More transplantation, more lives saved • “a study states that by 2015, about 158 million people would need organs for transplantation.” Fig. 1. Photograph of the cloned piglets from BBC News.

  4. Strength • Improvement in athletic ability • Bartolo Colon: right shoulder and elbow • Article from the New York Times Fig. 2. Photograph of Bartolo Colon from New York Times.

  5. Weakness • Unethical • Two types of stem cell: Embryonic and adult stem cell • Embryonic stem cell: from fertilized eggs • “Is Fertilized Egg Life?” • Against the sanctity of life • Against human rights Fig. 3. Photograph of babies from eHow-Health.

  6. Weakness • Cloning • Conflicts in the society • Dolly • Most desired genes • Deaths of other sheep Fig. 4. Photograph of Dolly by REUTERS from The Telegraph.

  7. Weakness • Unknown side effects • Still in the beginning stage • Possible to have long term side effects

  8. Debate (3 minutes) • “Should stem cell research be continued?”
