Stem cell research []
 * 1) Stem cells have two unique qualities: they can copy themselves for an unlimited period of time and they can grow into all of the body's different cell types
 * 2) When a stem cell copies itself, each of the two new cells can either remain a stem cell or become another type of cell such as a muscle cell, a blood cell, or a brain cell
 * 3) Stem cells have the ability to grow into organs, bones, and other body tissiues.
 * 4) Stem cells can save lives by creating the tissiues needed to heal some injuries
 * 5) Embryonic stem cells are blank and can be used for many things
 * 6) Stem cells can save lives
 * 7) Obtaning stem cells is painless and easy
 * 8) 69% of americans support the use and research of stem cells
 * 9) 55% of texans approve the reseach of stem cells
 * 10) Adult stem cells are called "multipotent." This means they can turn into several different kinds of cells within the same basic cell type.
 * 11) Adult stem cells found in bone marrow can turn into all of the different types of cells found in blood.
 * 12) Research on adult stem cells has been funded for over 40 years and many successful therapies have been developed.
 * 13) Embryonic stem cells are called "pluripotent." This means they can turn into all of the body's cell types except egg and sperm cells.
 * 14) Embryonic stem cells were first discovered in 1998 and research on them has not yet been well funded.
 * 15) Scientists believe that the potential of embryonic stem cells is even greater than adult stem cells.<("<)
 * 16) Pluripotent stem cells is an important goal with respect to disease modeling or future therapies
 * 17) Signaling by a protein called Target of Rapamycin, which is found in humans and most other mammals, is crucial for the regeneration of human tissues
 * 18) Disabling the protein prevents the flatworm’s regrowth
 * 19) A sign that disabling it in abnormal cells could prevent the growth of a cancer
 * 20) The organism would be able to repair itself
 * 21) They needed to regrow tissue to regenerate it in the correct place and instead formed tissues in abnormal places.
 * 22) This kind of regeneration hasn’t been reported before.
 * 23) The worm’s ability to repair itself is unparalleled
 * 24) Secrets could help combat cancer and degenerative diseases.
 * 25) Development of medicines to encourage tissue regeneration and to fight diseases

 * 1) The stem cells can reproduce and be converted into various types of brain cells
 * 2) Reprogramming in brain cells that were already fully developed
 * 3) “Our work could form the basis for providing practically unlimited quantities of the patient’s own cells.”
 * 4) Current study was conducted on mice
 * 5) "We are now extremely eager to see whether these results can also be applied to humans,”
 * 6) A low risk of tumor formation is important because in the distant future
 * 7) Neural cells will replace defective cells of the nervous system
 * 8) A vision of the various international scientific teams is to eventually create adult stem cells
 * 9) Skin or hair root cells, differentiate these further for therapeutic purposes, and then implant them in damaged areas.
 * 10) Stem cell research could speed up the discovery of new treatments for motor neuron disease
 * 11) The controversy surrounding stem cell research led to an intense debate about ethics.
 * 1) Up until the recent years, the research method mainly focused on Embryonic Stem Cells
 * 2) Involves taking tissue from an aborted embryo to get proper material to study
 * 3) This is typically done just days after conception or between the 5th and 9th week
 * 4) Both an abortion and someone dying, suffering from a possible curable disease, is a tragedy
 * 1) A big breakthrough in the research justify the use of the method in the present
 * 2) On April 29, 2011 the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia overturned a decision that blocked public spending on stem cell research
 * 3) The now defunct ruling stated that federal funds could not be used in research involving human embryo
 * 4) Stem cell research holds an enormous amount of potential to drastically change the lives of millions of people
 * 5) Suffering and dying from as-yet incurable illnesses canbe cures using undifferentiated cells from frozen embryos
 * 6) Umbilical cord blood scientists are able to grow new tissues to replace diseased tissues or to implant these cells in the body
 * 7) Suffering person to begin to grow and repair the diseased parts
 * 8) Patients dealing with paralysis multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's disease stem cells hold the promise of hope that their condition might not be a life sentence
 * 9) They may one day live a full and healthy life once again
 * 10) There is endless potential for scientists to learn about human growth and cell development from studying stem cells

 * 1) These stem cells can reproduce and be converted into various types of brain cells
 * 2) To date, only reprogramming in brain cells that were already fully developed or which had only a limited ability to divide was possible.
 * 3) The new reprogramming method presented derivation of brain stem cells able to undergo practically unlimited division to be extracted from conventional body cells.
 * 4) The results have now been published in the current edition of the prestigious journal Cell Stem Cell
 * 5) Cancer stem cells now are thought to be the originators of many tumors.
 * 6) Furthermore some scientists suspect that cancer stem cells may prove to be the cells most responsible for resistance to current drugs used to treat cancer
 * 7) Gaining a better understanding of the molecular biochemical and functional characteristics of cancer stem cells may lead to the development of more effectivetargeted treatment
 * 8) Drugs that target the majority of cancer cells that cannot self-renew are not likely to be effective.
 * 9) On the other hand drugs that target only the tiny proportion of cancer cells with self-renewing properties are most likely to have long term benefit
 * 10) There is still much to learn
 * 11) Pluripotent adult stem cells are rare and generally small in number but can be found in a number of tissues
 * 12) Obtaining stem cells from a human embryo is highly unethical
 * 13) There is only one way to obtain stem cells from a developing human embryo
 * 14) It involves killing the embryo
 * 15) A human embryo is an innocent human being in his first stage of life
 * 16) It is always and in every case morally wrong to intentionally kill an innocent human
 * 17) At any point in life including the embryonic stage of development
 * 18) There are those in the government and scientific community who say more money must be spent on human embryonic stem cell research
 * 19) It holds the most promise for helping people with conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease
 * 20) Human cloning is a reality with human cloning experiments now being conducted
 * 21) fictional wild-eyed rebels but by credentialed experts working in some of the world’s most respected institutions
 * 22) some of which are publicly funded with tax dollars
 * 23) A stem cell is a type of cell found throughout the body of all human beings
 * 24) Stem cells can reproduce themselves over a long period of time without changing
 * 25) They also have the capability to produce other types of specialized cells such as brain cells muscle cells and lung cells

 * 1) Some people find it hard to believe that can be pro life and for stem cell research at the same time
 * 2) It could be true that when it comes to moral values
 * 3) The reason people disagree with me might be due to the fact that individual human beings tend to be unique
 * 4) Live in a diverse society and as hard as we try to see through a socially moral view we perceive things differently through our unique view of the truth
 * 5) Each experience in life is different
 * 6) There are 100-150 million people in the United States who can benefit from the stem-cell-derived therapies and treatment thereby finding a solution for their health problems
 * 7) The embryonic stem cells provide researchers with greater advantage in comparison to adult stem cells because embryonic stem cells are easy to identified and isolated
 * 8) Stem cells can be purified without much problems
 * 9) It is very much easier to grow the embryonic stem cells in comparison to adult stem cells
 * 10) The embryonic cells used for research are harvested 5 to 7 days after conception
 * 11) It is argued that at the stage of 5 to 7 days embryo is not developed enough to live
 * 12) The adult stem cells are not a good alternative to embryo stem cells
 * 13) adult stems fall short in the treatment of genetic diseases
 * 14) Reason behind it is that the same genetic defect to be treated is present in adult stem cells
 * 15) There are different types of stem cells each with their own purpose
 * 16) Currently there are very few widely accepted stem cell therapies
 * 17) To be used in treatments stem cells will have to be instructed to behave in specific ways
 * 18) Stem cell science is extraordinarily promising.
 * 19) There have been great advances in treating diseases and conditions of the blood system using blood forming stem cells and these show us just how powerful stem cell therapies can be
 * 20) Scientists all over the world are researching ways to harness stem cells and use them to learn more about to diagnose and to treat various diseases and conditions
 * 21) Every day scientists are working on new ways to shape and control different types of stem cells in ways that are bringing us closer to developing new treatments
 * 22) Many potential treatments are currently being tested in animal models and some have already been brought to clinical trials
 * 23) In February 2010 the British company ReNeuron announced it had been approved to conduct a Phase I clinical trial of a neural stem cell
 * 24) Stem cell reseach has found a treatment for stroke
