Spiced-Up Intro..

Have you ever wonder when will the future of our medical field be like? For me, I think it will be massive usage stem-cells to cure many diseases. The research on the stem-cell in the past few decades has evoked interest of many scientists. This is solely due to the reason that stem-cells have the potential to evolve into almost all types of cells in our body. As a result, their impact on the field of medicine is enormous as the lack of certain cells in our body can be reinforced by these stem-cells. Even though the benefits of stem-cell research is tremendous, it faces its first hurdle in 2001 when President Bush, one of the most religious president in the history of United States denied funding for stem-cell research for ethical reason. Though recently, President Obama passed a new law that will allow government funding back to the scientists and research laboratories. Glimmers of hope has aroused and debate of the ethical issue of the research has surfaced again. One school of thoughts think that destroying embryonic cells for the sole purpose of extracting the stem-cells is considered as first-line murder as the embryonic cells containing DNA and are considered as human beings. On the contrary, the other group of people thinks that extracting the stem-cells from the embryonic cells is completely normal because the embryonic cells do not possess brain, hands, legs, or other entities that a typical human being should have. The essence of the debate is mainly about whether embryonic cell is a human being. Though I personally agree with President Obama that the research in the stem-cell is the correct path to take, albeit the huge controversy.
