| Researches in medical science have been in | | | | were supposed to be incurable until now. Medical |
| development since the early existence of mankind. | | | | scientists have done experiments to almost establish |
| Since ancient times medical treatments have | | | | the fact that fertilized embryos of human origin can be |
| undergone huge advancement in the type of remedial | | | | used for successful treatment of diseases in which |
| options practiced for the cure of existing ailments in | | | | the present damaged cells in any person's body were |
| human body. The latest development in medical | | | | incapable of regenerating themselves. |
| science is the use of stem cells for restoration of | | | | While the possible treatment by stem cells has been |
| health. Stem cells in general term refers to the fertilized | | | | good news but its origin from a fertilized human |
| human embryo that has an ability to develop into any | | | | embryo has led to hot debates within people of |
| other 220 types of cells present in an adult human | | | | different opinions. A fertilized embryo is often referred |
| body. There is also another from of stem cell which is | | | | to as a living being and harvesting it for the purpose of |
| a particular cell found in every adult or even a child. | | | | medicinal use leads to an end of embryonic life. Hence |
| This adult stem cell is supposed to be capable of | | | | it raises a question of ethics that should one life be |
| generating a specific type of new cells that are | | | | sacrificed for saving another. Many people especially |
| required for the person suffering from any cell | | | | certain religious organizations and the Catholics stand |
| degeneration disease. While the later type of stem cell | | | | very opposed to this form of medical research and |
| i.e. cells from adults hardly raise any controversial | | | | have boycotted it since it's beginning. But for those |
| issues the former cells obtained from fertilized human | | | | who are in favor of rearing stem cells defend saying |
| embryo is a topic for hot debate among people with | | | | that such researches were carried on embryos that |
| different mind sets. | | | | were never meant to develop into humans. Some |
| Men have been suffering from many forms of | | | | couples seeking fertility treatment left many fertilized |
| diseases since the advent of mankind and this has | | | | embryos in the laboratories of which at max only one |
| been a cause of great suffering for many people who | | | | developed to be fit for transplanting into female body |
| are unfortunately attacked by some incurable health | | | | only those unused source of fertilized embryos were |
| hazard. The most common diseases being the | | | | used for the purpose of research. |
| Alzheimer's disorder, the Parkinson's disorder, cancer | | | | Although there are theories that at present no misuse |
| or the like. Even such life taking physical problems are | | | | of human fertility is done for harvesting stem cells. But |
| being advocated to be possible to be cured by the | | | | less can be promised today that once using stem cells |
| stem cell theory. Hence people in the field of medical | | | | for successful treatment of degenerating cells is |
| advancements strongly support the researches based | | | | established there will be no case of producing |
