Regulating Stem Cells

Cells are a marvelous aspect that makes up all living creatures. Stem cells possess the incredible ability to develop into distinct cells in the human body. This miraculous cell can help paralyzed patients regain the use of non-usable limbs; they can even help a blind person regain the ability to see. Officials are investigating how stem cells can be used in medical procedures; they are working hard making sure they cause no harm to patients. Last week, in Bethesda, Maryland the topic over the regulation of human cells was discussed. Due to the public submitting their own opinion, pleading of allowing sick patients with regenerative medicine has been considered. These people believe designated stem cell therapist can help. Other people disagree with the use of stem cells since it is an unproved treatment. These people believe that stem cell therapies cause harm. According to Administration's website, "Stem cells, like other medical products that are intended to treat, cure or prevent disease, generally require FDA approval before they can be marketed. FDA has not approved any stem cell-based products for use, other than cord blood-derived hematopoietic progenitor cells for certain indicators," this informs us that Stem Cells have not been yet approved of, which allows for argument if they are legal to use. Even so many stem cell clinics have risen across the country. 

Personally, I believe that if there is some miraculous way in which victims of paralysis or even eyesight loss can regain their functions, it should be used. I do however believe that there should be some way in which a person can be told if they are receptive to this medical treatment. Obviously, it is not for all, since there are risks to this procedure. A patient willingly consents to the possibilities of what could happen during an operation. If there was a chance to cure the impossible The test prove that this process could be very helpful but untested. Before being completely accepted, if should first be approved of by the FDA. The whole population will never truly accept stem cells, but to those who are willing to go on with this medical treatment, it is available to them.
