Title: Stem Cell Research


1
Stem Cell Research
  • Created By Jake Tracy

2
About Stem Cells
  • Different types of stem cells
  • Can replace other cells throughout the body that
    have been injured or damaged

3
Why Not Stem Cells?
  • Lack of money
  • Ethical problems
  • Destroys an embryo
  • Can lead to other scientific problems
  • Against some religions

4
Why Funding?
  • To find cures faster
  • Save millions of people who are suffering
    everyday from deadly diseases
  • To know why lies ahead
  • Know more about how the human body works

5
Ethical Problems?
  • Embryos are destroyed everyday in fertility
    clinics
  • Fetus are killed everyday in abortion
  • Why cant some embryos be donated if they will
    be destroyed anyway?

6
Scientific Problems?
  • Leads to more advanced research that will help us
    figure more questions
  • Increase our knowledge and opportunities
  • Over the past years, slowly but surely, more and
    more people are starting to approve of stem cell
    research as you can see from the bar graph.

7
Questions to think about
  • If we think that this research can bring cures to
    many diseases then why are we limiting the
    research that is done and the funding that is
    given?
  • Why are we not trying to improve our technology
    and bring bigger and better opportunities?
  • Is an embryo really a life?
