The Controversy of Stem Cell Research
Mickael J. Fox, along with the political party of Democrats are standing up for the controversial topic of stem cell research through ads and foundations for different diseases in which the process of stem cell research could possibly cure. The controversy over the ad of stem cell research has pushed the issue of stem cell research into the spotlight greatly. Michael J. Fox plans on traveling to Iowa for a campaign to support Iowa gubernatorial candidate Chet Culveron the topic. "Stem cell is a big issue in this campaign, I want to lift the very restrictive ban we have here in Iowa. I want to give hope to countless thousands of Iowans suffering from diabetes, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's. Michael J. Fox has been a national leader, and I'm happy to have him at Drake on Monday." (Chet Culver) Chet Culver's opponent in the campaign is Jim Nussle who takes the side as opposing all forms of embryonic stem cell research.
Stem cell research is not a topic of debate that has derived recently, it is has been a controversial topic for quite some time. Just the mention of its research is very controversial. The most common factor in which is looked upon within the topic of stem cell research is the ethics of its research. The positive potentialof stem cell research is accompanied by ethical dilemmas, which have been the driving force behind the U.S. policy debate.
While one side of the debate focuses upon the "good" of stem cell research, the other focuses upon the "bad". In my opinion, if stem cell research will make a breakthrough within the search for cures within diabetes and Parkinson's, and other diseases, I think it is a very valid research. Although, I understand the validity in the fact of the opposite side of the debate which is stating that extracting stem cells is ethically wrong because they are embryos or human lives.
In conclusion to the topic of stem cell research, not even politics can truly settle the debate. It is a topic which is still "up in the air" and I believe it is going to take some time before the debate is resolved and an answer to the question of whether it is right or wrong is reached. For now, I beleive it is courageous for those who stand up for the research in stem cells and defend what they believe and fight to find a cure for the diseases in which they suffer.
