Blog 17 Stem cell research










Some would argue that stem cell research is morally incorrect and we should not be playing with nature or go against gods will. Religion does hugely oppose of stem cell research. Many religious groups will protest it, that is why George Bush the former president of the USA did not allow it to go ahead in the States. Barack Obama however has given the go ahead. Barack Obama is also a devout christian however he understands the importance of the research and how it will help change lives. So what does stem cell research do exactly, since stem cells have the ability to differentiate into any type of cell, they offer something in the development of medical treatments for a wide range of conditions. Treatments that have been proposed include treatment for physical trauma, degenerative conditions, and genetic diseases.
