Outline:
Introduction:
1. Interesting grabber: For years stem cell research has been inhibited by the ethical and moral issues that surround the topic, and hundreds of potential lives could have been saved if it hadn’t.
2. Introduce the topic
a. explain the moral confliction
- harvesting cells from an embryo
- killing a potential life
b. explain the opposing moral confliction
- letting an untold number of people die
- ie. not researching what has the potential to save millions of lives in the future over the span of human existence (yeah its that big)
c. what has been done so far to regulate stem cell research
- former President Bush’s funding for stem cell research
3. Segway into the pro stem cell research
Pro para
1. Interesting grabber: Stem cell research could lead to treatments that save millions of lives and improve the quality-of-life for millions more.
2. What scientists are trying to accomplish with stem cell research
a. regenerative cellular medicine
b. metaphoric blank canvas
c. treatments of diseases
3.What types of stem cell research are out there/where is the potential in stem cell research?
a. Adult stem cells
b. Embryonic stem cells
4. Why embryonic cells are so much more viable for research
a. blank slate (cells can form into any different type)
b.negatives for the viability of adult stem cells
- why they (adult cells) won’t work
Opposing para
1.interesting grabber:
2.issues within religion and morals
a. messing/creating with human life
b. potential killing of a human life (embryonic stem cells)
3.potential growth of cancer cells (abnormality of storing stem cells for long periods of times)
Solution para
1. Sacrifice to be made by pro
a. a slower more humanistic approach to extraction
b. scratching embryonic stem cell research
2. Sacrifice to be made by con
a. Allow stem cell research, they do not need to be benefited by the research
3. What can be gained mutually
a. viable method for regrowth of type specific cell cultures
b. millions of lives saved
4. Moving forward and implementing solution
Conclusion para
1. rephrase arguments
2. restate solution
