topic definition statement

Stem Cell research is a topic that is talked about rarely. The basic knowledge is known except that there are different types and why research shows stem cells are important. They are publicized by the media rarely.  There are both pro’s and con’s on the issue.

This paper will examine stem cell research. What it is and the different types as well the pros and cons and the ethical issues surrounding the research.

“Stem Cell research ethically: Can it make a difference?”

Key question: “What impact can stem cell research have on cures for diseases? And is this ethical?”

Sub-questions: “ What cures have occurred since the use of stem cells and are there any negative views on the use of stem cells. How far has research come since the initial use of stem cells in the medical community? Is there any moral issues surrounding stem cell research in the harvesting and  use of stem cells?”

The sources I will use will be journals, web video , articles and book excerpts.
