Stem cell research has tremendous potential in terms of understanding fundamental processes of human development and differentiation, as well as novel therapies for illnesses including diabetes, spinal cord injury, Parkinson's disease, and myocardial infarction. Human stem cell (HSC) research, on the other hand, is fraught with ethical and political issues. The process of creating pluripotent stem cell lines from oocytes and embryos is riddled with debates about when a person becomes a person. The ethical issues associated with embryonic stem cell research are avoided by reprogramming somatic cells to create induced pluripotent stem cells. However, sensitive downstream research, permission to contribute materials for HSC research, early clinical trials of HSC treatments, and supervision of HSC research all present tough issues in HSC research. To guarantee that stem cell research is carried out in an ethically acceptable way, these ethical and policy concerns must be addressed alongside scientific difficulties. This essay examines these problems critically and how they are handled in current policy.
