The researchers from many parts of the world have expressed strong desire to flourish Stem Cell research to a next level. They laid down the proposal to seriously reconsider the ethical and cultural issues surrounding the Stem Cell research and move forward in the direction to openly talk about creating humans from stem cells.

Shedding light on countless benefits Stem Cell technology promises, the Business Insider reports Eli Adashi having said that advantages of this technology are certain and very much connected with human health at large. He is reported to have exemplified through a cancer case benefits of Stem Cell technology, saying that a girl who has gone through chemotherapy and other radiation treatment for cancer could not conceive a child because of infertility. And adding to the problem is the inability to get an egg from the donor because of the complication associated with the retrieving of the egg from the donor. But with the help of Stem Cell technology, this problem can be solved easily by taking a scrub of the face and culturing it in the laboratory to produce eggs in numbers as needed by the woman.

Another report published in Daily Mail reports Scientists having warned that they have cracked the way that would enable them to create human embryos without the involvement of mothers. It would be done with the help of Stem Cell technology which would enable scientists to create stem cells from even a scrub of the cheek.

The rapid development of this science at one point is promising many benefits for humanity but on side of the story, things can go out of control if discreet and practical rules are not set for conducting such a research. The time is ripe today to talk about the creation of human babies from Stem Cell technology and rethinking over our ethical and cultural issues surrounding the technology for enjoying the long term benefits.
