This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: contraESCR, Much of the groundbreaking adult stem cell research came from European countries with little restriction on embryonic stem cell research ConfScheme: Objection The increased apparent potential in adult stem cell research could be due to decreased funding for embryonic stem cell research or the newness of the field, embryonic stem cells can be isolated from other sources for basic scientific research ConfScheme: Objection Embryonic stem cell lines are needed for basic scientific research, Embryo-derived stem cells develop into tumors and worsen symptoms Support Adult stem cell research is an effective alternative to research on human embryo-derived stem cells, Arguments that the human embryo is not a person entail extrinsic determinations of personhood, and are applied inconsistently ConfScheme: Objection The human embryo is not a person, If Adult stem cell research is an effective alternative to research on human embryo-derived stem cells and Research on human embryo-derived stem cells is an ethically controversial subject then, The government should NOT help fund the creation of new embryonic stem cell lines therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) The government should NOT help fund the creation of new embryonic stem cell lines, A cell line is a clonal population of cells that have been immortalized and grow indefinitely Supports Cell lines are inherently unsuitable for human implantation, Adult stem cell research is an effective alternative to research on human embryo-derived stem cells therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) The government should NOT help fund the creation of new embryonic stem cell lines, Embryonic stem cell research has been around just as long as adult stem cell research ConfScheme: Objection The increased apparent potential in adult stem cell research could be due to decreased funding for embryonic stem cell research or the newness of the field, Embryo-derived stem cells have a greater differentiation potential ConfScheme: Objection Adult stem cell research is an effective alternative to research on human embryo-derived stem cells, The murder of the few for the many is unethical and denies the equality of human persons ConfScheme: Objection The murder of a human embryo is not sufficient reason to halt scientific research, The murder of a human embryo is not sufficient reason to halt scientific research ConfScheme: Objection The creation of an embryonic stem cell line destroys a human person, The human embryo is not human ConfScheme: Objection The creation of an embryonic stem cell line destroys a human person, Differentiation potential does not necessarily directly translate into more or better medical therapies ConfScheme: Objection Embryo-derived stem cells have a greater differentiation potential, The human embryo is not a person ConfScheme: Objection The creation of an embryonic stem cell line destroys a human person, Embryo-derived stem cells have been shown to closely resemble cancer stem cells Supports Embryo-derived stem cells develop into tumors and worsen symptoms, Pancreatic cell lines have developed tumors when implanted in humans Supports Cell lines are inherently unsuitable for human implantation, Research on human embryo-derived stem cells is an ethically controversial subject therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) The government should NOT help fund the creation of new embryonic stem cell lines, This is a false dilemma that fails to take into account embryo adoption ConfScheme: Objection Existing frozen cells will be destroyed in the fertility clinics, so we might as well use them for research and benefit society, The creation of an embryonic stem cell line destroys a human person therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) The government should NOT help fund the creation of new embryonic stem cell lines, Having the same genetic material as an adult, the human embryo is scientifically considered to be human ConfScheme: Objection The human embryo is not human
