Stem Cell Research
Stem cell research is a fairly controversial topic, people view the testing on parts of humans or even be it the umbilical cord after it has done its job is unjust and inhumane. Stem cells are the cells that have not been assigned a specific role in the human body and it is thought that through research eventually scientist will be able to be able to implant these stem cells to cure human disabilities such as brain damage and spinal cord injuries. There are two types of stem cells, 1. the stem cells from bone marrow in fully grown adults which can be found in the centre of large bones in humans but is very painful to extract. 2. The stem cells found in unborn fetuses which has led to controversies about is it still murder if the zygote has been destroyed to extract the stem cells even though there is a high chance that it will never be used to make a baby.
Euthanasia
Euthanasia is the manner of ending life to end suffering and pain this is often common in putting animals to 'sleep' to end their suffering from a expensive and painful disease or disability. This is often common practice to put a horse 'down' if it has a broken leg which would be incredibly painful and expensive for the owner and for the horse. Many diseases for humans are painful and have a high chance of mortality such as cancer, most patients that have been diagnosed with cancer have little to no chance for recovery and the procedures that are required to improve the chances are often very expensive and painful. Euthanasia has been disputed among culture as being a higher form of suicide which is frowned upon since ancient society.
Equality
Egalitarianism is the belief that all people should be treated the same no matter age, gender, race, religion, political, economic status. The belief that we should try to make more and more people have equal rights has been thought as the start to a perfect society where there would be no wars for power no racism and no disadvantages but this would lead to other problems as for economic status where people will always have to work to feed other people, who would lead such a place where everyone is equal only to be thought as the person who has more rights and power over everyone else. Equality is thought as the predecessor to a perfect society but it would lead to other problems as our current society has been developed from classes of people from the working class who manufacture the goods and services for the people higher in economic status.
