Why is the use of embryonic stem cells controversial?

Biology
1 answer:
Brrunno [24]3 years ago
8 0
Stem cell therapies are not new. Doctors have been performing bone marrow stem cell transplants for decades. But when scientists learned how to remove stem cells from human embryos in 1998, both excitement and controversy ensued.

The excitement was due to the huge potential these cells have in curing human disease. The controversy centered on the moral implications of destroying human embryos. Political leaders began to debate over how to regulate and fund research involving human embryonic stem (hES) cells.

Newer breakthroughs may bring this debate to an end. In 2006 scientists learned how to stimulate a patient's own cells to behave like embryonic stem cells. These cells are reducing the need for human embryos in research and opening up exciting new possibilities for stem cell therapies.

What usually causes creep?
notsponge [240]
Soil creep is the downward movement of soil, on a slope, caused by the force of gravity. A slow deformation of soil material over a prolonged period of time, from pressure and stress. Creep occurs when the friction from materials resisting gravity move against each other. Slope is a key cause of soil creep.
