Originally produced to treat infertility and surplus embryos were discarded. ? Embryos created using IVF then tested using DNA analysis when only 3 days old and only a few cells in size. Embryonic Stem Cells: Researchers extract stem cells from a 57 days old blastocyst. Stem cells can divide in culture to form more of their own kind, thereby creating a stem cell line. The research aims to induce these cells to generate healthy tissue needed by patients. Two Sources of Embryonic Stem Cells 1. Excess fertilized eggs from IVF (invitro fertilization) clinics 2. Therapeutic cloning (somatic cell nuclear transfer) Tens of thousands of frozen embryos are routinely destroyed when couples finish their treatment. These surplus embryos can be used to produce stem cells. Regenerative medical research aims to develop these cells into new, healthy tissue to heal severe illnesses. Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer The nucleus of a donated egg is removed and replaced with the nucleus of a mature, somatic cell (a skin cell, for example). No sperm is involved in this process, and no embryo is created to be implanted in a woman?s womb. The resulting stem cells can potentially develop into specialized cells that are useful for treating severe illnesses. International Legislation ? Embryonic Stem cell research is highly controversial not only in the United States but worldwide. ? In the past two years, many nations have begun to tolerate, if not to support, the research. ? In the fall of 2022, the United Nations will consider enacting a global ban on both therapeutic and reproductive cloning. Stem Cell Research Worldwide United Nations ? In November 2022, a mittee of the General Assembly defeated by only one vote a proposal to ban therapeutic cloning research. The United States delegation strongly supported this proposal.
