WHAT ARE STEM CELLS
Stem cells are cells that can transform into any
type of other cells.
Contain the ability to:
Transform into any other type of cellSelf Renewal
There are two types of stem cells: embryonic stem
cells and adult stem cells.

EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS
Embryonic stem cells can convert into any type of
cell.
Derived from embryos of 4-5 days after
fertilization.

ADULT STEM CELLS
Adult stem cells have a limit of the cells
they can transform into.
Derived from adults. They are typicallyfound in the blood, bone marrow, skin,
muscles, brain and liver of adults.

IMPORTANCE
Stem cells have the ability to cure or treat manydiseases that do not contain any yet.

PARKINSONS DISEASE
When damaged cells that fail to produce
dopamine.
Dopamine is the chemical that helps humans
have smooth coordinated muscle movements.
Treatment: insertion of stem cells into the
infected body so that the stem cells can transform
into dopamine.

ALZHEIMERS DISEASE
A progressive deadly disease that degrades and
kills brain cells that later lead to memory loss,
cognitive decline and behavioral problems.
Treatment: A transplant of neural stem cells so
that the infected patient can produce new healthy
neurons.

POINT OF VIEWS
Catholics: It is wrong therefore it should not be
used.
Judaism: It is okay to use the embryonic stemcells as long as it is used for medical or
therapeutic purposes.
Episcopal Church: Supports the use of embryonicstem cells as long as the embryos would have
been destroyed otherwise.

Obtaining embryonic stem cells is to perform
abortion.

ABORTIONS LEADS TO POST-
ABORTION SYNDROME(PAS)
Post-Abortion Syndrome is a form ofpost-traumatic stress disorder.
After an abortion, the female begins to
feel guilty and becomes a victim of
depression as she realizes she has killedwhat could have been her child.

WHAT IF THEY WERE USED IN
MEDICINE
According to Dr. Ted Peters, it is possible that if
embryonic stem cells were used in medicine,
couples will get pregnant of purpose to then sell
the embryos to science.

IMPROVING ADULT STEM CELLS
Scientists are doing research on expanding the amount of cells
that adult stem cells can transform into
The National Institute of Health states that, it is now possible to
reprogram adult somatic cells to become like embryonic stem cells
(induced pluripotent stem cells) through the introduction of
embryonic genes.

PRE-IMPLANTATION GENETIC
DIAGNOSIS.
New technique discovered including the removal
of one cell from a cluster of approximately ten
cells that make up an embryo in its earlier
stages. Scientists can then grow a stem cell line
from that one cell.The embryo will still be intact

ASK YOURSELF: SHOULD THEY BE
USED?
Obtaining embryonic stem cells is to kill a
defenseless life.
No life should be killed to save another.Alternatives exists, all we need is to do more
research to test its reliability and safety.
