Induced Pluripotent Stem CellsDebates about stem cell research have echoed from class to class, and to hear that someone actually has a solution to this paradox, which can really compromise two very stubborn points of view , I couldn't help but write my account of what I thought was a very "enlightening" article:1. Objective analysis. “Getting Stem Cell Rights” by Maureen L Condic serves to emphasize the ethical side of stem cell research while trying to ground the entire debate and commercialize a new prospect of embryonic stem cells called induced pluripotent stem cells. The author clearly supports the latter and wishes to completely concentrate all research on it and forget about "unethical" research on embryonic stem cells. He decided to 1) present this new perspective 2) refute the response of current embryonic stem cell researchers, and 3) fully support the new IPSC research as a call to action to end embryonic stem cell research. 1) The author presents and informs about IPSC in:- “A truly cost-free resolution of a conflict, where the interests of all parties are served without compromise.”- Ongoing research which has proven that “ordinary human skin " can be transformed into stem cells by a process called direct reprogramming the same as embryonic stem cells. -The production of IPSCs is very simple. -No destruction of the embryos occurs -Ethically and scientifically “uncompromising” -Research still in its infancy -More simple and cheaper to produce than embryonic stem cells.-eligible for federal funding2) The author refutes what she has gathered from several sources from which scientists...... middle of paper ......edited – The University of Utah itself stated on their website. So if that is the case, then why support one research over another. Furthermore, iPS cells can also develop in a human embryo by many supervisors. Article report by Maureen L.
