Stem Cell Persuasive Speech

Consider this; take a brief look at the apparent features of your body, and then back to an image of yourself from the past. What is the obvious difference? Your appearance. Your body is constantly going under changes, due to the fact that your somatic cells are in the progress of regeneration. Almost all the cells in your body do not divide through mitosis, so the question is, what is the cause of this continuous growth? The answer is plain and simple: stem cells.
Since the development of this idea in 1956, scientists have established authentic evidence and research in the uses of stem cells. Stem cell specialists across the globe believe that if they can unmask the capabilities of these cells, they will be able to initiate a significant breakthrough

The idea of destroying a human embryo raises a serious ethical crisis and creates a dispute between whether it is more important to recover humans from misery or to recognize the significance of human life. In order to accurately acknowledge both viewpoints, one must understand the process of extracting embryonic stem cells. During the first four to five days after the fertilization of a human embryo, known as a blastocyst, the embryo has around 100 cells. Scientists will extract particular cells from the inner mass region of the blastocyst, which is then multiplies to form an embryonic stem cell line; essentially destroying the blastocyst. When viewed from a moral and religious perspective, many will argue that “human life begins after fertilization” or that “we should not be playing the role of God”, and in their minds, they feel this act is equivalent to murder. On the contrary, others who support this research analyse the issue comparing the ideas of cost versus benefit, supporting the fact that “the benefits have such a great outcome that they outweigh the ethical issues”. Others even have a mutual stance on this issue, including U.S President, Barack Obama, calling his decision on stem cell therapy as a "difficult and delicate balance". To prove his collective view, in 2009, he ended the ban on stem cell research, on the circumstance that the embryo was either at a known risk of death or
