Stem Cell Reserch

Good Morning Mr Cav and class,


I am in favour of stem cell research. It provides great potential for discovering treatments and cures to a plethora of diseases including Parkinson’s disease, schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease, Cancer, spinal cord injuries, diabetes and many more. 


Limbs, organs, and skin can be grown in labs, and then put in to the body to help treat deseises or bad scaring. the advantage to this is that as it has been grown from your stem cells, there will be no need for any anti rejection drugs and it will be your own organ.

Scientists and doctors will be able to test millions of potential drugs and medicine, without the use of animals or human testers. This necessitates a process of simulating the effect the drug has on a specific population of cells. This would tell if the drug is useful or has any problems.

An advantage of the usage of adult stem cells to treat disease is that a patient’s own cells could be used to treat a patient. Risks would be quite reduced because patients’ bodies would not reject their own cells.

Thank you
