Stem Cell Research: Status and Ethics
![Page 2: Stem Cell Research: Status and Ethics. Task 1: Key definitions Pluripotent – Embryonic stem cell – Differentiated -](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022082506/5697c0111a28abf838ccb6b7/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Task 1: Key definitions
• Pluripotent –
• Embryonic stem cell –
• Differentiated -
![Page 3: Stem Cell Research: Status and Ethics. Task 1: Key definitions Pluripotent – Embryonic stem cell – Differentiated -](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022082506/5697c0111a28abf838ccb6b7/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Are there other types of stem cell?• Embryonic - early
stages of development
• Adult stem cells – allow regeneration and repair of tissues.
• Found deep within organs that need replenishment e.g. bone marrow, skin, gut and brain

Can adult stem cells make any type of cell? No only certain types

Task 2: Questions
1. Where do we find adult stem cells?
2. Can they be used to make all cell types?

How can we use stem cells?

Task 3: research
• Use the internet to find examples of diseases in which stem cells have the potential to treat.

Task 4: THINK – what may be the advantages and disadvantages of using
embryonic stem cells
Advantages Disadvantages

Task 5: Ethics – What do YOU think?• Proponents of human
embryonic stem cell research say that embryos from IVF are going to be discarded and, so, should be used for research
• Prisoners on death row are also going to die, so why not do research on them

Task 5: Ethics – What do YOU think?Write and argument FOR and AGAINST use of STEM cells in a letter to the PM
Evaluate = a higher order thinking task!!
