An article published in the Genetics Science Learning Center of the Department of Health Sciences at the University of Utah, entitled The Stem Cell Debate: Is It Over? (2014), asks a question that I find very interesting, and which I would like to answer. Here's the question: "Should the laws governing other types of pluripotent stem cells differ from those of hES cells?" If so, what new legislation is needed? iPSC); It is well known that to date, hESCs offer the most possibilities. Stem cell research is good because it opens the door to possibilities, but it also challenges our perception of the world and challenges our beliefs in life. Thanks to stem cell research, finding a cure for many previously incurable diseases is becoming a possible reality. Diseases such as Parkinson's disease, sickle cell disease, Alzheimer's disease, cancer, heart disease, to name a few, may in the not so distant future become curable diseases. Although there is a lot of work to be done, I think the federal and state governments are doing a good job working toward better legislation regulating stem cells. In 2009, as President Barack Obama prepared to sign the lifting of the ban on stem cell research. , he noted: “There is no finish line in scientific work. The race is still with us – the urgent work to give substance to hope and answer those many bedside prayers, to seek a day when words like “terminal” and “incurable” are finally removed from our vocabulary.” One of the most recent pieces of legislation in this area is the reauthorization... middle of document ...... to treat certain bone, skin, and corneal conditions (Nine Things to Know About Stem Cell Treatment, 2015) , however, according to the FDA website, there are no authorized stem cell treatments yet. I understand the concern about the dehumanization of embryos, but by limiting any type of stem cell research, we are also dehumanizing those who are desperate for a cure; like the little girl waiting for a heart transplant, or the young boy with a promising artistic career who saw his career frustrated because of Parkinson's disease. The future looks very promising with the gradual lifting of all bans on stem cell research. We are heading into an era of great medical advancements. It is important to ensure that the general population, as well as major consumers of stem cells, are properly educated and widely informed, through factual information and clear legal advice..
