An article published in the Genetics Science Learning Center of the University of Utah Department of Health Sciences, entitled The Stem Cell Debate: Is It Over? (2014), asks a question that I find very interesting, and which I would like to answer. Here is the question: “Should the laws governing other types of pluripotent stem cells differ from those for hES cells? If so, what new legislation is needed? iPSC); it is well known that to date hESCs offer the greatest number of possibilities. Stem cell research is a great thing because it opens the door to possibilities, but it also challenges our perception of the world and questions our beliefs in life. With stem cell research, finding the cure for many previously incurable diseases becomes a possible reality. Diseases such as Parkinson's, sickle cell anemia, Alzheimer's, cancer, heart disease, to name a few, may in the not so distant future become treatable conditions. While there is much work to be done, I believe the federal and state governments are doing a good job working towards better legislation to regulate stem cells. In 2009, as President Barak Obama prepared to sign the lifting of the ban on stem cell research, he noted, “There is no finish line in the work of science. The race is always with us: the urgent work of giving substance to hope and answering so many bedside prayers, of seeking a day when words like “terminal” and “incurable” will finally be retired from our vocabulary.” One of the most recent legislation on the subject is the reauthorization...... halfway through the document...... treating some bone, skin and corneal pathologies (Nine Things to Know About Stem Cell Treatment,2015), however, according to the FDA website there are no authorized stem cell treatments yet. I understand the concern about the dehumanization of embryos, but by limiting any kind of stem cell research, we are also dehumanizing those who are desperate for a cure; like the little girl waiting for a heart transplant, or the boy with a promising artistic career who saw his career frustrated due to Parkinson's disease. The future looks very promising with all the bans on stem cell research slowly being lifted. We are moving into an era of great medical advances. The important thing to ensure is that the general population, as well as major consumers of stem cells, are adequately educated and widely informed with factual information and clear legal guidance.
