Trumpeting the scientific breakthroughs that might accompany such research—cures for Parkinson??s! For Alzheimer’s! For diabetes! For mortality itself!—the usual voices are clamoring for a limited ban on reproductive cloning, accompanied by increased government oversight and support for the “therapeutic” variety. These forward-looking types—The New York Times and the Washington Post, Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, the pharmaceutical companies who stand to make a killing, quite literally—envision a world where it will be perfectly legal...
...proponents of stem cell research say that using embryos, most of which are already slated for destruction, has the potential to benefits countless individuals suffering from diseases ranging from Parkinson??s to diabetes...
Embryonic stem cell research involves removing undifferentiated cells from a human life at its first stages of development. This procedure destroys the life of the embryo. Some scientists think that these cells may be useful in developing cures for diseases such as Parkinson??s and diabetes. Precisely because of our nation’s awareness of human dignity, we are moved by testimony of others’ suffering and wish to alleviate it. When the question regards the use of surplus embryos from fertilization clinics, many respond as Lecturer on Ethics in Science Louis M. Guenin...
...well. The Corrections has a remarkable view of the world, and this is made apparent through our encounters with the Lambert family. We first meet Enid and Alfred performing the slow and futile rituals of married life after retirement. Alfred, reticent and principled, is waging a stubborn battle against Parkinson??s disease. His struggle frustrates Enid, a Midwestern mother of three grown children striving to maintain a fantasy of proud normalcy and prosperity in her own life and in the lives of her children. The Lambert children are not exactly cooperating with that fantasy. Chip is a former...
Embryonic stem cells have the capability of developing into any tissue in the body, possibly providing a source of cells to treat diseases such as diabetes and Parkinson??s disease. But scientists say that it will take them years to develop such treatments because so little is known about the cells...
