Stem Cells Developed From Four-cell Embryo
The development of stem cells technology have been well implemented, for it has the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body.
Now, for the first time, the world scientists have succeeded in developing human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) from a single cell, or blastomere, of a 4-cell stage embryo, ScienceDaily reported.
From the results, it might be possible in the future to produce (human embryonic stem cells) hESC lines at an earlier stage without destroying the embryo. In the mean time, other researchers are about arguing on this research for two reasons :
1). They believe that it is morally wrong to use embryonic stem cells for research, and
2).They believe that it is morally wrong to use embryonic stem cells for medical treatment.
It is known that when a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential to either remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized function, such as a muscle cell, a red blood cell, or a brain cell.
