The Necessity Of Stem Cell Research In America
The people of our country are sick. We are diseased with cancer, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s, and we have to live with it for the rest of our lives, as we gradually rot on our personal hospital beds, circumvented by useless medicos, nurses, and hospices. As verbally expressed by the Centers for Disease Control and Aegis (CDC), “seven of the top 10 causes of death in 2010 were chronic diseases. Two of these chronic diseases—heart disease and cancer—together accounted for proximately 48% of all deaths” To engender a more salubrious America, to engender futures for the future, to engender a pathway to remedy billions of people from these horrid diseases, we must promote stem cell research, a solution to these chronic diseases.
Stem cell research can avail us remedy many terminal diseases, customarily by stem cell transplants. According to California’s Stem Cell Agency CIRM, “In a stem cell transplant, embryonic stem cells are first specialized into the obligatory adult cell type. Then, those mature cells supersede tissue that is damaged by disease or injury. ” Examples of utilizations of stem cell transplants include superseding neurons damaged by spinal cord injury, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and other neurological quandaries. However, there is a more preponderant, long-term use for stem cell research, which is optically canvassing how stem cells develop into different kinds of cells, which can be habituated to rehabilitate an organ or to supersede a malfunctioned cell. Studying these cells may withal benefit the cause by availing us identify incipient drugs, or screen drugs for toxic side effects. By simply studying these stem cells now, we can greatly impact a human’s health in the future without transplanting a single cell, which will preserve mazuma for our country as well.
As of today, the percentage of people who believe that stem cell research is morally acceptable is 60%. Pellucidly, the majority believes that stem cell research is veridical, and that it will benefit our society by sanctioning people to live longer and better lives. As the future president of the Amalgamated States, you must ken how paramount it for the people’s conceptions to be expressed in the form of action. Consequently, there should be more fundings for medical research that utilizes stem cells obtained from human embryos.
For the regime to not fixate on a major opportunity to find a solution to the leading causes of death now is killing billions of lives, it is an ignominiousness that that we are not fixating on the most rudimental form of avail and support for all humans. The more expeditious and more efficient we solve this issue, the more lives we preserve. The only controversial topic is how embryonic stem cell research challenges our humane ethics on how we are “killing lives that have never even lived” for our selfish uses. If the definition of humane is to “have or show commiseration or benevolence,” then surmising that eradicating “lives” that haven’t even lived is more cruel than letting lives rot away, and letting lives that have lived never live again is a haughty opinion. Virtually everyone in America will die by chronic diseases, including you, Mr. /Ms. President. To avert your friends, family, and you and the people of this comely country from dying by these repugnant diseases, I ask that you promote stem cell research to rid America and the world from these illnesses.
