is this really the future... essays

is this really the future... essays Is This Really the Future of Transplants After a baby is conceived and has made it through the fallopian tube it becomes an outer shell of cells with an attached inner group of cells. When this has happened it has reached the blastocyst stage. In this stage the outer cells nourish and provide protection for the inner circle of cells. The fetus attaches it self to the lining of the uterus while still in the blastocyst stage. There arent any organs present in the blastocyst stage, but as the cells multiply and begin to perform specific functions they lead to creating organs. The nervous system is yet not functional and there are no brain waves present. After about 22 days things will begin to develop and the heart will start to beat. But by then the embryo has developed out of the blastocyst stage. To me, the main difference between destroying extra embryos in infertility clinics and destroying them by research is the before and after story. For the infertility clinics, the reason for destroying them is the fact that they dont have couples wanting the embryos. They are extras that might not have worked for a couple. So why would they create a life and then destroy it? But for research, they are creating a life for a specific reason, and when its destroyed, hopefully they are getting useful information out of it. When the infertility clinics create a life, it is because they believe that a couple is going to come along and want this embryo, but they create so many for one couple, and each couple only needs one. And when the couple finds the one that works for them, they get rid of the rest. To me thats crueler than killing an embryo with science. Reproductive cloning is when the genetic material in the nucleus of a human cell is transferred to an egg from which the nucleus has been removed. This egg can then be prompted to grow into an early embryo. This embryo can be placed inside a woman uterus and ev...
