Stem cell or also known as immortal cell can self-renew (duplicate) or differentiate (specialize) which means it can turn into an organ cell. (Krimsky, 2015) For instance, if we have an stem cell in the liver and the liver needs a new cell, the stem cell will duplicate and one is going to be a duplicate of the original the other one's going to be a new liver cell that the body or the liver needs. Stem cells deal with disease and tissue turnover. Cells are designed to work at peak efficiency until they cannot and then they are designed to die. The stem cell is the engine of regeneration, it has the ability to replace the dying cells with new cells. My thought regarding this practice is justifiable because stem cells are designed to cure disease, there are many diseases that afflict our population that modern medicine doesn't cure it is just managed. Fox example: diabetes, it is managed by insulin but it is not cured. In regards with stem cells, instead of managing the disease, for instance your pancreas if you have diabetes, it replaces the damaged tissue or the dysfunctional tissue with new healthy young tissue that functions well and the disease will be reversed and your health will be restored.
It gives a brief idea about the concept of stem cell. The defination does define well. however, to understand the prospects of it's uses. Stem cells can be totipotent (can differentiate into all possible cell types), pleuripotent (ability to differentiate into almost any cell), multipotent (differentiates into closely related family of cells), oligopotent (can differentiate and give rise to different cell lines) and unipotent (can differentiate into a particular cell type). The article rightly mentions about the property of stem cell to replace damaged and aged cells. It does provide promising prospects to be used in various diseases or conditions.
My question would be- As mentioned in the article, we can use stem cells to replace or regenerate an organ. Does the stem cell have to belong to the individual himself or someone else's stem cells can be used? Is there any marker for an individual's own stem cells?

please answer this post and ask one question regarding this post Embryonic stem cells are a type of cell that derive from embryos. This process usually happens though in vitro fertilization and then donated to research with consent of the donor. These cells are useful for research and can be used to “regenerate and repair damaged tissue, some current therapies such as bone marrow transplantation already make use to stem cells and their potential for regeneration of damaged tissues” (Kohl,...
please critique this post and ask one question relating to this post Eugenics is a term used to describe the science of bettering a population based on new advances and technology. In the medical field, there are a lot of new medical advances that help people in many way such as DNA, stem cell research, amniocentesis, and reproduction. The topic I pick to discuss is amniocentesis. Amniocentesis is done to detect certain conditions such as Down Syndrome. However, the procedure...
please critique this post and ask one question relating to this post Organ donation is a process described as “surgically removing an organ or tissue from the one person and placing it into another person” (Flaman, 2018). This is a very complicated procedure and not everyone who needs a transplant is guaranteed one. Some ethical issues that arise with organ transplant are life and death situations, age, and priority of patients. Many times there is a waiting list for candidates...
please critique this post and ask one question relating to this post The military of the United States is one of the group that most uses animal testings. It is estimated that about 8500 goats and pigs are use each year during combat training to evaluate trauma (Klimas, 2017). The military argue that the blood and live tissue of animal such as pigs and goats simulate better for training related to trauma because of combat situation. There are programs which...
please critique this post and ask one question relating to this post A person in need of an organ transplant has the right to obtain that transplant. An organ transplant is when a viable organ is removed from one person and placed in a person who needs it. Choosing who has priority when it comes to receiving an organ transplant is difficult. This is especially difficult when there are more people who need transplants than there are donors. This means...
please critique this post and ask one question relating to this post Animal Experimentation is widely used to create new medicine and test the safety of many products (Carey, 2014). However, the ethical issue comes to be since a lot of these experiments cause harm and death to the animals that are involved in the research (Carey, 2014). Animal experimenters use animals in order to see if new Drugs are harmful to human population (Carey, 2014). Scientists say that banning...
Required: I need to paraphrase the answer because it is plagiarized. . Question: What is the function of beta cells in the pancreas? Answer: Beta cells (β cells) are a type of cell found in pancreatic islets that synthesize and secrete insulin and amylin. Beta cells make up 50–70% of the cells in human islets. In patients with type I or type II diabetes, beta-cell mass and function are diminished, leading to insufficient insulin secretion and hyperglycemia. The pancreas is...
