Ethics Program 4
Stem Cell Research
"Frontier of Hope
and Concern"
|
Chapters: 12
|
| ..................................................................................................
Imagine the ability to treat a person
suffering from Parkinson's disease
with their own brain stem cells or a
young boy battling leukemia with stem
cells from umbilical cord blood.
Imagine the ability of embryonic stem
cells to grow into any cell of the
human body and the potential of
treating crippling disease. Stem cell
research is helping scientists to unlock
the mystery of human life and develop
life saving therapies. While much hope
has been generated by this research,
moral and ethical concerns have been
raised by the use of embryonic stem
cells, which is covered in this program.
