    This explains to me the different ethics people have towards embryo-tic stem cell research. But is using adult stem cell research as controversial and disliked as embryo-tic stem cell use?

Vatican to finance adult stem cell research - Health - Cloning and stem cells - msnbc.com - 0 views

  •  
    Most people including religious persons oppose embryonic stem cell use but most if not all people are willing to experiment or allow adult stem cell use. It seems reasonable because adult stem cell research has been the only one that has proven to give effective results with out harming life. Will this prove to be the future of medicine and if so how soon will it be fully available and what price will the average person have to fork out for its use?

    How much money is stem cell research making off donations and how do institutes get people to donate their money? Has their money helped the advancement in stem cell research technology?

Same-sex marriage - 0 views

  •  
    This article is practically the foundation of my research and without it, my research would be nothing. Some compelling facts in it are that the Ancient Roman Emperor Nero was known to have married at least two men in his lifetime and and Ancient Native Americans who entered same-sex relationships were revered and even considered holy.

Stem Cells Poised To Grow Organs For Transplant - 1 views

  • Grekos showed the successful engraftment of stem cells into damaged organs and subsequent regeneration of tissue.
  • Dr. Grekos also highlighted several case studies to illustrate his team's success with Adult Stem Cells. According to their findings, cardiac disease patients experience an average increase of 21% in ejection rates as well as measurable improvements in congestive heart failure class status, some in as little as one month post-treatment
  • Regenocyte Therapeutic is currently using Adult Stem Cells Therapy to treat Congestive Heart Failure, Cardiomyopathy, Peripheral Artery Disease, Coronary Artery Disease, Kidney Disease, Ischemic Heart Disease, Pulmonary diseases (COPD, Pulmonary Fibrosis, and Pulmonary Hypertension) and Early Senile Dementia. Patients can call 866-216-5710 or visit http://www.regenocyte.com for information or consultation.

      I may want to contact this number for my research. 
  • Therapeutic, addressed physicians from around the world with a presentation on patients treated with pre-engineered Adult Stem Cells. In the presentation,
  • "This is the logical next step in harnessing the regenerative power of stem cells. This will be the next phase in turning science into medicine
  • PET scans confirm that Adult Stem Cells have the ability to engraft themselves into areas damaged by myocardial infarction (heart attacks) and turn into viable new heart muscle.
  • "Three months after treatment, cardiac nuclear scans of the areas treated reveal reversal of damage. We have been able to take patients off the transplant list, and we have been doing it consistently."
  • physicians at the Dominican Republic division of Regenocyte announced clinical results of a 46-year-old patient with pulmonary hypertension who was treated with Adult Stem Cells. His pulmonary artery mean pressure went from 41mmHg (severe pulmonary hypertension) to 24 mmHg (normal) in six months.
  • The patient's saturations are now consistently high and he no longer needs to be supplemented with oxygen continuously or considered for a lung transplant. Another patient was successfully treated for cardiac sequelae of Fabry's Disease, and is also no longer considered for heart transplant.
  •  
    A clinical essay on the use of stem cells on regrowing certain organs and its cit-effects. Is it more dangerous to use stem cells research? Does the benefits out weigh the risks of the procedures?

stemcellresearch.org - Fact Sheet: Adult Stem Cells (72) v. Embryonic Stem Cells (0) - 0 views

  •  
    This is showing me that the type of stem cells that i have chosen to focus on are the only ones that have shown any results in curing these illnesses. Will science do a way with embryonic stem cells and gear their efforts toward adult stem cell research or continue to try and use embryonic stem cells?

The "Gill" Question - 0 views

  •  
    This article is helpful to my research because it tells that President Obama is the first American president to endorse same-sex marriage and by the Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders (GLAD), declares the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) unconstitutional because it denies same-sex married couples federal benefits. DOMA was enacted in September 1996 by President Clinton that defines marriage as a union between one man and one woman.
Michael Flake

Defense of Marriage Act - 0 views

  •  
    This article is vital to my research because it describes the Defense of Marriage Act in an as much detailed and unbiased manner as possible. The Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders have deemed this act unconstitutional because it denies homosexual, married couples federal benefits.
