1.What types of diseases have the potential to be cured bystem cell technology?

2. Are any stem cell treatment currently approved or inclinical trials?

3. What is the difference between an embryonic stemcell and an adult stem cell? What are thechanges that occur in a cell asitdifferentiates?

4. How are stem cells and cancer cells similar?

5. What are the ethical issues surrounding the use of embryonicstem cells? Can any of these issues be avoided using technologysuch as somatic cell transfer or inducedpluripotent stem cells, explain why or why not?

6. What are the potential dangers of stem cell technology?

Can you help me with these questions? Thank you!

Pleaserephrase these sentences while maintaining the samemeaning:

1) Reproductive cloning

â¢ has been used to create Dolly the Sheep and many cloned cows,dogs, cats and horses.
â¢ If the low success rates and issues of safety could be improvedas discussed below, the technology can be used to mass-produceanimals with special qualities, such as animals that are importantagriculturally or are able to produce helpful drugs for humanuse
â¢ SCNT has environmental uses in that it can be used to repopulateendangered species, as has been shown with the wild ox and thegaur
â¢ Some supporters of human reproductive cloning also see it as away of overcoming male infertility, where other methods of assistedreproduction have failed.

2) THERAPEUTIC CLONING :It could help advance embryonic stem cellresearch.

â¢ The stem cells have to be able to be isolated from a source andthen grown in the laboratory
â¢ The stem cells have to be able to be turned into thespecific
cell type needed for treatment

3) DNA CLONING is essential to enable enough copies of a gene orDNA segment to be analysed for human genetic testing to diagnosegenetic conditions and enable predictive or presymptomatic genetictesting for genetic conditions in asymptomatic individuals orprenatally (see Genetics Fact Sheets 21 and 17C).It providesmedical benefits in the fields of therapeutic cloning andregenerative medicine.
â¢It provides great potential for discovering treatments and curesto a plethora of diseases including Parkinsonâs disease,schizophrenia, Alzheimerâs disease, Cancer, spinal cord injuries,diabetes and many more.
â¢Limbs and organs could be grown in a lab from stem cells and thenused in transplants or to help treat illnesses.
â¢It will help scientists to learn about human growth and celldevelopment.
â¢Scientists and doctors will be able to test millions of potentialdrugs and medicine, without the use of animals or humantesters.
An advantage of the usage of adult stem cells to treat disease isthat a patientâs own cells could be used to treat a patient. Riskswould be quite reduced because patientsâ bodies would not rejecttheir own cells.
â¢An advantage of using embryonic stem cells is that they candevelop into any cell types of the body, and may then be moreversatile than adult stem cells.
