Conclusion

Stem cell research is a scientific topic that revolves around ethical issues as well as medical ones. This is because scientists need to kill live embryos in order to obtain embryonic stem cells. However, with the hard work done by separate research teams from Japan and Wisconsin, it is now possible to have alternatives for embryonic stem cells, and thus removes all moral issues. With the progressing scientific technology and knowledge, stem cells will be one of the greatest medical breakthroughs in history. Many diseases and injuries that were never thought to be able to be cured are now within reach. Stem cells will without a doubt mark history in the medical world and will benefit mankind of the future generations yet to come.
