| For the first time in his presidency,
| |
| | understanding on how diseases develop in
|
| President George W Bush made a historic
| |
| | the cell and tissue level.It sounds
|
| veto last July 19th killing the hopes of
| |
| | perfectly fine and enormously beneficial,
|
| further development in the stem cell
| |
| | so what's the fuss all about? As I was
|
| technology. The terminated bill was aimed
| |
| | (objectively I hope) told, the
|
| at lifting the ban on federal funding of
| |
| | controversy is rooted from the fact that
|
| embryonic stem cell research which
| |
| | the most viable stem cells are from the
|
| President Bush himself imposed in
| |
| | tissues of an embryo. Applied in human
|
| 2001.The Stem Cell Research Enhancement
| |
| | context, it is the human embryo-- the
|
| Act was unanimously voted by both the
| |
| | beginning of life, something we humans
|
| Senate and the House of Representatives,
| |
| | cannot alter or infringe on (as social
|
| but both chambers fell short of the
| |
| | and moral constructs taught us).And when
|
| needed two thirds vote that would have
| |
| | morals and ethics are in the picture,
|
| overturned Bush's veto power. With an
| |
| | politics cannot be missing. Given the
|
| argument on grounds of social morals, the
| |
| | numerous analyses, view points, and
|
| veto from the president was somehow
| |
| | opposition coming from organized
|
| already been expected. Bush has always
| |
| | religions and groups, governments of
|
| been vocal in his stand against embryonic
| |
| | countries where stem cell research are
|
| stem cell research and the technology
| |
| | existing are placed in an extremely
|
| that uses human embryos in trying to
| |
| | stressful tipping point. With pragmatic,
|
| develop miracle cures for terminal
| |
| | revolutionary promises colliding with
|
| diseases.With the veto, President Bush
| |
| | instituted social beliefs and moral
|
| gained a wider support ground among the
| |
| | convictions, governments are at the
|
| conservative Republicans and the many
| |
| | mercy of mutually exclusive polars. A
|
| progressive religious and conservative
| |
| | solid support base is what keeps a
|
| advocacy groups. Disappointment and
| |
| | government alive (and a president
|
| frustrations, on the other hand,
| |
| | popular). If majority of the people are
|
| escalated among the seculars and
| |
| | secular, hurting their beliefs won't do a
|
| liberals.The issue has been residing in
| |
| | government any good. But what about the
|
| the highest offices of the country but
| |
| | national interest in advancement and
|
| many common Americans are still unaware
| |
| | progress? And so the debate ensues.Far
|
| on what is the real deal about stem cell.
| |
| | more issues arise from stem cell. Should
|
| The only message the government and other
| |
| | further researches be pursued and
|
| concerned parties are sending to the
| |
| | developed into technologies? Should
|
| social base is the potential of stem cell
| |
| | currently accepted stem cell procedures
|
| to cure terminal diseases. Not enough
| |
| | be widened? Should we be contented with
|
| understanding on how stem cell can
| |
| | adult stem cells or bank more on embryos?
|
| achieve this potential and its political,
| |
| | Should stem cell research and technology
|
| social, and religious underpinnings is
| |
| | be funded by the state? Where do we draw
|
| being made available to the large public
| |
| | the line between morals and
|
| which at the end of the day is at the
| |
| | practicality?To constructively engage in
|
| receiving end of any legislation.In a
| |
| | the issue, I argue in favor of the stem
|
| very lengthy conversation I had with a
| |
| | cell advocates. The religious opposition
|
| cousin who teaches Biology, I came to
| |
| | some sectors have is not something new to
|
| understand that stem cells are cells of
| |
| | be so alarmed about. They had the same
|
| the body that are at their very early
| |
| | stance about divorce, about euthanasia,
|
| stage of development and are not yet
| |
| | and even about war. Yes, their
|
| designed to perform very specific
| |
| | opposition is a necessary element given
|
| functions. Unlike brain cells that
| |
| | that we are (ideally) in democratic
|
| cannot replace the functions of the heart
| |
| | society where multi perspective political
|
| cells, stem cells can be developed and
| |
| | stands are celebrated. However, their
|
| assigned to do whatever function. This
| |
| | opposition should not in any way be the
|
| characteristic is apparently what is seen
| |
| | turning point of the fate of any attempt
|
| by experts to be million-years missing
| |
| | to advance human knowledge, especially if
|
| link to solving serious body and organ
| |
| | they (the anti-stem cell groups) or their
|
| malfunctions.Scientists and researchers
| |
| | loved ones can benefit from it. Issues
|
| say that by focusing on the yet
| |
| | like the fraud and embezzlement of South
|
| unspecialized nature of stem cells,
| |
| | Korea's Hwang Woo-suk are valid and worth
|
| specifying mechanisms can be done to turn
| |
| | the scrutiny it deserves. But
|
| these stem cells into a particular kind
| |
| | essentially, the incident is not in any
|
| of cell to be used to replace damaged
| |
| | way indicative of the follies of stem
|
| tissues of an organ. This premise
| |
| | cell technology.No technology cannot
|
| promises stem cells to function as repair
| |
| | alter life. All the technologies we have
|
| kits especially to diseases that are
| |
| | accepted and been using have altered our
|
| currently hard to solve like heart
| |
| | lives in greater deals that we can
|
| diseases, diabetes, spinal chord damages,
| |
| | recognize. Dealing the issue of stem cell
|
| Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's
| |
| | with objectivity may just weed out the
|
| disease. On a scholastic note, stem cell
| |
| | hindrances there are in arriving at a
|
| technology advocates argue that by
| |
| | sound and equitable deal with the
|
| exploring the many possibilities of stem
