Right now it is 5:09AM in india, today is my exam, and this was the topic i wasn't clear about.. You have made this so easy.. Great teacher you are!!! 🙏 I am really not prepare well for my exam.. I hope i clear this paper😭
Wow, great video. I am an English teacher and I will use this video in my classes firstly to teach my students what stem cells are, then to practice very useful vocabulary, and last but not least to have a discussion on the topic. If I may, of course.
Thank you for the information, it was very well organized and presented. It helped me with my research paper regarding Ethics of using Embryonic Stem Cells.
Am I correct in understanding that all stem cell research is done on blastocysts that are a result of the sperm donation process you described, and also that all of those blastocysts are destroyed whether or not they are used for the research? If that is the case and I'm not misunderstanding, it would seem that morality question lies more within the "artificial" pregnancy process (for lack of a better term) which produces wasted blastocysts, no?
Very informative video. I was thinking similarly to Yourself, Spiritus Fenix. I think I am against that process that causes the destruction of surplus Zygotes: The fertilisation part is still natural and very real when it comes to the egg and sperm. I would say that life starts before the Zygote: Life starts in the head with a concious decision: I am of the line that animal passions should be governed by reason and moral standards. The first thought of starting up a family, for me, ought to be through the genuine marriage contract and full intention of bringing in life. I am against any suppresion, or stolen pleasure, from the natural process that frustrates the leading up to a Family. I would not be against artificial means between husband and wife in principle; so long as it does not lead to disgarded Zygotes. A thought occurs: Do these really need to be human for research, anyway?
hi, i know this is an old video, but is this still relevant? i believe we can now create stem cells from blood or skin cells and turn them into IPS cells, which no longer needs to sacrifice a life.
So I can take my eggs out at any age as long as they are still healthy and exist. Then use sperm donor to create my own stem sells. If everyone creates their own stem sells then there would be less crimes.
Controversial, yes, but in my opinion it is far worse to abort a fully formed human being at 3 months gestation and even further on than that in many cases. The use of stem cells seems more controversial than abortion, where the babies have fully formed nervous systems and are able to feel pain, especially when their limbs are being torn off inside the uterus. At least stem cells aren't even formed into a baby yet.
Isn't this why the industry has shifted to Mesenchymal Stem Cells? From Wharton's Jelly surrounding the umbilical cord from a healthy mother & child via a C-section delivery.
Very helpful, little redundant, had to fast forward a few times but very informative. I’m very pro life but I think I’m ok with this as they’re being thrown away anyway...
Hey man! Thank you so much for explaining this and putting time into it. It was extremely helpful for me as someone who had no idea what it was. Thank you again! God bless
my take is.... if they are going to be disposed as medical waste, why dont we research it? It is only not ethical if people force the woman to take it from a parent....
I've been trying to find anywhere in the US that is offering this treatment or even a clinical trial so I could save my daughter who was roofied at 21 years old while out dancing with friends celebrating her college graduation which resulted in her having severe brain damage and is in a vegetative state. Embryotic stem cells could save her .
Excellent video! I appreciate you uploading and sharing these facts. This video has really helped me to understand exactly the what, who, when, where, and why's of stem cell research. Now I will be able to use my own thoughts to generate my decision on the issue. Thank you very much! Have a wonderful day!
Very helpful, thank you. I am now educated and can make a decision based on facts instead of feelings, which were only in place because of ignorance. Thank you
My views are that human rights intrinsically belong to "human beings". A "human being" is a multi-cellular organism comprising of a network of highly specialised systems including the nervous, circulatory, respiratory and skeletal systems. Human beings are also bipedal, mammalian vertebrates. If the entity under investigation does not meet the above criteria, then human rights cannot be conferred to said entity IMHO. Thank you for encouraging free thought and informed decision making.
Hi,i like your presentation.Very simple and easy to understand.Thanks for sharing this video.I just want to ask if you still the have the powerpoint you used for this presentation?
You said when the cells grow into a human baby at 9 months. Early on in the presentation...Great presentation though. Interesting research. I personally feel no moral conflict about the use of these types of embryonic cells: They are not cells from aborted babies. Having said this, I will lean on the wisdom and understanding from God and not my own while this opinion develops. Just now being exposed to these ideas.
No bias detected. Very informative video. I'm here because I have a research paper to write and this video was just excellent for my amateur understanding of the subject matter. Thank you.
Thank You, for the information given, in the steps of forming cells, parts of the proces,and, for the different situations that come with it. and that the studies ,medical uses can and are very important.
Thank you for this great video!!!! I have a question at 15:18, what happens with these 9 blastocysts? You said they become "destroyed and considered as medical waste"..... But does that mean they are discarded or "killed" eventually?
I guess leaving them out of the fridge is killing them. They go off to be disposed at a facility that properly disposes hospital waste like organs and limbs.
Exactly! So why not use them for science research and help others if they're going to be discarded anyway? Are these zealots also against an individuals right to donate their organs at their time of death?
I honestly don't know. Even if they are eventually discarded, do we have the right to harvest them? I mean think about us as human beings. We might pass away and our healthy organs might save other people. It is fair for us to get buried with these life-saving organs but use none of them? Or should there be someone else deciding beyond our preference? Both are correct in their own ways and could be criticized accordingly as well.
It's really helped me a lot..right now I'm suffering from maniscus damage of my right knee and Doctor wants to remove that...could u help me ... Because removing maniscus is not the solution....thanks
This video is very understandable. Thank you! It helps clarify the issue. We have to be careful in our research not to overstep our boundaries in what is supernatural design. I believe life begins at conception & destroying an embryo for research or wasting it from in vitro fertility practices is destroying human life.
