YourSurname 1 Name Surname Professor Subject Date Research and Argumentation Paper Many religious and conservative groups oppose and campaign against stem cell research . Despite its controversies , however , the research has contributions that can help promote human welfare . The research can advance man ‘s knowledge , help alleviate man ‘s sufferings , help find cure to many illnesses and bring hope to the dying . Stem cell research brings with it potentials that can greatly benefit mankind and as such should be supported .Benefits of Stem Cell Research Stem cell research advances man ‘s knowledge . An expansion of man ‘s knowledge is necessary to make life better . It is also necessary so as to be able to understand man ‘s biological structure which in turn can help point out the necessary solutions to bodily pains and ailments . For example , stem cell research advances knowledge on cancer (Norris . This knowledge , in turn , is helpful to the scientific community in finding ways to finding cure to cancer . According to Norris , “gaining a better understanding of the molecular , biochemical and functional characteristics of cancer stem cells may lead to the development of more effective , precisely targeted treatments . The research will thus help in advancing scientific knowledge which will have positive implications in treating many diseases that inflict man .Stem cell research alleviates man ‘s sufferings . Age related diseases , in particular , which bring much pain to the elderly people due to the degeneration of the body , are better understood and addressed because of stem cell research . According to Zuckerman , “something like a hundred million Americans suffering from disease and the incubus of age hold out hope that relief may come one day from regenerative medicine ,YourSurname 2 meaning that science may be able to reprogram the human body so that it can heal itself and impede many of the symptoms of senescence . The promise lies in so-called stem cells . Many scientists believe stem cell research can help eradicate almost all cell based diseases and age related diseases . They are also hopeful that the research can help alter the process of aging . Thus , man may no longer have to go through the inflictions of age related illnesses that most of the present day elders are suffering from today .Stem cell research finds cure to many diseases and illnesses . Through stem cell research , man ‘s heath can be greatly improved and many disease and illnesses can be prevented , mitigated and even treated . Among the diseases that stem cell research can treat are diabetes , Alzheimer ‘s ,heart disease , and Parkinson ‘s (Munro 1587 . Munro adds that “one much-cited reason for optimism about diabetes is the outcome of a recent National Institutes of Health study that showed improvement in the condition of diabetic mice after they were treated with stem cells from mouse embryos . Thus , through stem cell research , the number of diseases will be greatly reduced and many will be successfully treated .Stem cell research gives hope to the dying . Incurable diseases such as cancer correlate to the idea of death…
