Cellular reproduction: mechanisms and processes

Cellular Reproduction, as we all know, has become a very controversial subject.

Scientists believe cell reproduction can enhance a human's life by curing certain disease's, such as Multiple Sclerosis. Parkinson's Disease and Alzheimer's disease.

Society, on the other hand is stating it is immoral and inhuman by "Playing God," and leading us to a path of destruction.

With the opposition, our government is torn and has restricted funding for cell reproduction. Only twenty-two embryonic stem cell lines are now available for federal research funds and they can only be adult cells.

The greatest concern is what kind of human cells are going to be reproduced?

Somatic Cells, blood cells that already exist in us, has made great progress. By transforming our blood cells we can produce a new liver and kidneys. Which is in high demand for transplants. Then there is the embryonic cell, which comes from a human embryo. They can mature into any cell type and can be grown in large numbers. They can replace damaged cells in patients with spinal cord injuries or heart disease.

We have made great strides with cell reproduction. What the opposition doesn't realize is that reproduction has been in effect for many years. The vaccine for Jaundice as well as other vaccinations and drugs used today are from reproduction. We are now able to offer patients with certain diseases a new chance at life. Society has taken a medical and made it a political issue. Shouldn't the end justify the means?
