[/]: January 22, the United States well-known embryonic stem cells (ES) research and development company jamron companies finally get the long-awaited United States food and Drug Administration (FDA) for approval, will carry out with ES treatment following spinal cord injury in human trials. The associated press said this in the world is the first time, marking the United States opened new ES research.
Since 1998 the human ES research breakthrough, has always been the scientific community and public hotspot. This is mainly because, its function is really amazing, could the differentiation and development to all 200 cell types. It is of course to have high expectations, if it really can effectively use their "developmental potential of the Almighty nature", not can be used to treat Alzheimer 's, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, stroke, leukemia, and other difficult or unable to cure numerous diseases, "regenerative medicine," dream a reality? ES, however, want to extract, and damage to the foetus. Although there are only 8 or so early embryonic cells (blastocyst), but some people strongly insists that human life from the sperm-egg binding of that moment began, blastocyst is life. Early in 2001, the United States President George w. Bush took office, at the time of Pope recently told him: do not fund research stem cells, they destroy life, morality. In 2005, when the United States Congress passed the relaxation of the funded stem cell research Bill, Bush vetoed again, claiming that his "life and culture," simply does not exist "superfluous embryos". It can be said that stem cell research is today's most promising life sciences and disputes frontier most intense.
FDA approves a Bergeron company ES treatment tests to reveal an important information: contribute to the scientific study of human beings is prohibited. United States continues to have Nobel requires easing restrictions on stem cell research restrictions. In 2004, the Republican Party of former President Ronald Reagan's son ran to the Democratic Party in the Assembly looks out at Bush's stem cell research policy. 4 years later, Barack Obama during the campaign more clearly stated: "I strongly support the expansion of stem cell research. I believe that Bush in funding for human embryonic stem cell research restrictions set on impedes our scientists, also to prevent competition with the other countries. "The FDA suing them, although there is no direct relationship with Obama, but Obama inauguration, announced quite interesting after.
Therefore, for stem cell research and application, there is every reason to embrace of faith. Say this does not mean that you can "say no to spec, are not subject to constraints". On the contrary, as Obama proclaimed that "will ensure that all stem cell research are consistent with the code of ethics and are subject to stringent monitoring". No matter how amazing ES functionality, application how diverse, whether applied to clinical, is safe and effective, must pass a rigorous test, science speaks.
About human testing, I appreciate the world A and B of the world. Effect that there are two worlds, A and B. World A test does not allow the human body, and therefore there would be no risk of human testing. But because of the treatment and drugs not on scientific research, medical risks are high, the overall risk is also high. World B allows human testing, the presence of human testing may bring risks. But because of the treatment and drugs on scientific research, medical low-risk, low total risk. How can the world A better world B? I believe most people would choose world B. The 1960s, "Thalidomide" (peptide amino quack Thalidomide) in some countries and regions are considered to be a passing fad, preventing pregnancy. Until Leopard-like tens of thousands of others to be born, people will wake up and cry. Ironically, the United States is not affected by the "victims of Thalidomide". "Thalidomide" through human testing?. In that case, you cannot import the United States, not to give pregnant women use. I think that the "Thalidomide" event will strengthen our world B choice. It is based on this concept, the FDA approved the ES test. Relevant experts has repeatedly emphasized that the main concern of this test the findings of the safety assessment for security. After all, science is at the service of humanity, any time you want to put people's safety and well-being in the first place. Especially medical, life and death are sent, "responsible non-light" was not negligent.
Unfortunately, some people have guts feeling great, not just for clinical trials, also fancy wrappings called "stem cell therapy," effect of up to 90%. So as A model in the world, seriously damaged the credibility of our medical research. To do this, I sincerely hope that the relevant sector on stem cells (including embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells) of clinical application of strict monitoring, the development of the necessary specifications to build on a scientific basis. Let us remember: "there is no adequate studies based on treatment, without medicines to patients is dangerous. ”
