stem cells
Before giving this assignment to work on I was 100 percent against stem cells research. But due to extension research I found out that stem cells can provide us with a myriad of possibilities in medical technology, but not without bringing with it serious moral and ethical dilemmas. For the sake of our children and their children after them, it is imperative that we resolve these current issues in genetics. In this research paper I will give the definition of stem cell, the current techniques in stem cells research, and how it would benefit the medical field. Stem cell is a general term used to identify any cell that has the ability to divide indefinitely and to differentiate into other specific cell types when properly stimulated. This differentiative and proliferative capability is due to the unrestricted state of the activation of gene expression. The complete genome of any mammalian cell has on the other of 105 genes that may or may not be expressed. Depending on the selection and sequence of these genes or gene products, the cell can give rise to any cell type. Generally, genes can be activated and inactivated leading to different cellular phenotypes. These
