By Rob Stein and M. Douclef
What: So, scientist have been interested in harnesting the power of stem cells which are....
hich are undifferentiated, selfreplicating cells that are capable of becoming differentiated cells within an organism. Pluripotent stem cells, which include embryonic stem cells, are capable of giving rise to any cell in an organism.
Why is it important? Scientist believe that learning more about stem cells will lead to the development of treatments and cures for diseases but is it ETHICAL!!!
In 2001, U.S. President George W. Bush signed an executive order restricting federal funding for research on stem cells obtained from human embryos; in 2009, U.S. President Barack Obama overturned the ban. As you read, take notes on the different viewpoints expressed on the subject of stem cell researchWh
How does it connect to Frankenstein? Think about the consequences and controversies surrounding scientific advancement and think about the problems that the Creature encounters due to Frankenstein's intent on creating life .

Multiple Choice
Which of the following best summarizes this article?
A group of scientists recently generated embryonic stem cells through cloning, which may help cure many diseases, though the process raises serious ethical concerns
Stem cell research has long been hindered by controversy and repeated attempts to publish falsified data and experiments.
Several scientists have already begun attempting to generate living human clones, and the generation of embryonic stem cells provides a vital steppingstone to their efforts.
The most powerful criticism of stem cell research revolves around the fact that it necessarily and universally involves destroying human embryos.
11
Multiple Select
Which TWO phrases from the text best support the answer to Part A?
“The researchers showed that the resulting embryos could develop to a stage where they could produce healthy stem cells containing the genes from the skin cells” (Paragraph 16)
“But every previous attempt ended in failure or fraud, leading many scientists to
wonder if the goal might be impossible to reach.” (Paragraph 8)
“The work drew immediate criticism because of ethical concerns.” (Paragraph 17)
“But beyond that, the creation and destruction of a human embryo is morally repugnant to people who believe an embryo has the same moral standing as a human being.” (Paragraph 19)
“’This raises serious problems because it is the first actual human cloning,’ Sulmasy says.” (Paragraph 22)

Multiple Choice
How does Paragraph 25 contribute to the development of the ideas presented in the article?

It shows that many researchers are unfairly dismissive of legitimate ethical concerns.
It advances the idea that the potential pros of stem cell research outweigh the cons.
