Stem Cell Research

Stem Cell Research has been a huge new technology advancement in the scientific field. Stem cells can be used for hundreds of medical and scientific purposes. Jean Peduzzi-Nelson has determined through research adult stem cells have a much higher success rate than that of embryonic cells. While embryonic stem cells are very usefull in drug testing and are able to form into all different types of cells. Adult stem cells on the other hand are infact one of the safest and best treatments and suprisingly hasn't really even been introduced to the public. The adult stem cells are able to bypass rejection, disease transmission, chromosomal abnormalities, and uncontrolled growth because the stem cells can be taken from a persons own body. Stem cells are a huge focus for medical technology because they are projected to eventually be able to cure hundreds of different of diagnoses and could be one of the biggest medical advancements in history. Doctors believe that this future for medicine isn't too far away and more and more reseach is being done every day. While adult stemcells are continuously succeeding they won't become the main sorce of stem cell treatment untill a more safe way to derive the cells is found. One of the biggest questions is if they can be found in sperm?
How amazing would it be if doctors could take your own cells, treat them, and then replace them into your body to heal a disease or other diagnoses. Science and medicine has advanced so much in recent years and its too crazy to think about. What if these cells could be used as permenant treatments for AIDS, cancer, and other huge problems. Society must realize how close we are to something so big like this and help with donations for research and helping in any other way they can. Treatments like this could change our world forever.
