Stem cell therapy is reaching another stage in the healthcare world by offering hope through revolutionary solutions to complex diseases. However, with progress come controversy.

Part of the debate lies in the disbelief stem cell therapy is as revolutionary asresearchers claim. The forerunners of this therapy want to replace the current treatment of Alzheimers, and cancer. There are even biotech scientists who claim experiments have shown promisebringing thebrain dead back to life, although, nothing concrete has been published.

Supporting scientists of the therapy have solid evidence thatevery disease originatesin specific cells. It is key to work with cells to find a potential cure for any illness. The first cell of a human is the stem cell; a pluripotent cell is a component of life and capable of replicating any other cell in the body. In fact, every cell in the human body comes from this cell. Pluripotent cellsare found in embryos or created from other cells making the process expensive.

With a cell capable of transforming into others, lab developers hope to find simple solutions to complexproblems. Alzheimers disease is the deteriorationof the brain cells (neurons), causingthem to die. Scientists can reverse thisby administrating stem cells into the brain to create new neurons, according to stem cell therapy supporters.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is becoming the fiercest enemy of stem cell therapy. Recently, theagency sanctioned clinics that useunapproved therapies. They seizedvials of the smallpox vaccinefrom some clinics. The FDA attacked them for not having enough proof of their practices. Somehow, the FDA is right to think this way because of the public silence of the therapys developers. People need more information about the treatment and general development.

The medical gesture of health and procedures, as well asdiagnosis, is based on scientific and proven knowledge. Contrary to the aforementioned therapy, there is a long list of publishing in medicine. It is certain that there are professionals working on stem cells, but the mistrust is justified.

Whether the therapy is legit, trustworthy, or efficient, ithas a bright future. The need forlargeamounts of money to fund theproject is undeniable. Big relevant companies, such as CSL Behringare investing moneyto accelerate the growth of the therapy.

A new groundbreaking technique is being tested that couldbring brain dead patients back to life. People who cannot live without a machine. Specialists say it is impossible to reverse that kind of damage, but stem cells therapy offersa new alternative.

People notice how much power the stem cell industry has right now. Even if individualsdo not have the legal backing, they enjoy the advocacy of powerful individuals. It is sane to remember that the major scientific progress made in history was due to experimentation. Is better if it sounds impossible to accomplishbecause it can prove the human greatness to fight against something as natural as death.
