Hot Topic Choice

Based on the voting and what I find interesting, I chose my hot topic to be stem cell research. It has been a controversial topic for many years and with science progressing rapidly, more and more use for stem cells is being discovered. Embryonic stem cells are no longer allowed to be created and destroyed, essentially, because by extracting the stem cells from an embryo, it in turn kills it. Scientists have figured out how to make these stem cells in a lab but they still aren't as useful as naturally made cells. Stem cells can fight and cure many diseases and illnesses and have made advances in treating cancer. Stem cells have many uses and as time goes on, the way they help humans will only expand.
