Embryonic Stem Cells & their Controversy (unbiased view)

This video is taught at the high school level. This video discusses what stem cells are and why their research is a divisive issue in today's society. I use this video in my biology class at Beverly Hills High School.

[@carmenduranrodriguez8503]

I appreciate the straight to the jugular layman's term explanation of this complex topic - THANK YOU!!!

[@buckshot2912]

Thanks for letting people to understand and use their own thoughts on this issue.

[@elladagan1420]

I'm doing a Research Assessment in Australia on this topic and your video has helped me to understand the topic much clearly. Thankyou!

[@thomasfully8464]

No bias detected. Very informative video. I'm here because I have a research paper to write and this video was just excellent for my amateur understanding of the subject matter. Thank you.

[@kayleebelay4608]

Wow this is the best video ever! I actually understood it all!!! THANK YOUUUUUUUUUU

[@selfloathingmoper33]

You're a lifesaver sir!! the information is exactly what i need!

[@josuerodriguez2863]

Hey man! Thank you so much for explaining this and putting time into it. It was extremely helpful for me as someone who had no idea what it was. Thank you again! God bless

[@BeverlyBiology]

+Josue Rodriguez I'm glad you found this helpful. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@venuss.7218]

I love how thorough you explained the topic. Thank you very much for sharing this educational video.

[@aracelylidioma3284]

Very, interesting, please teach more, I love learning without any biases. Thank you for giving the information, not your opinion.

[@mattm4540]

Great video, first few minutes nicely and clearly summed up what it was and some pros and cons

[@haileeroxana]

You explained it so BEAUTIFULLY. Thank you !!!!

[@jo_cho]

needed this for my science assignment

Finally someone who speaks English, and doesn't assume I have a Master's in Biochemistry; thank you!

[@antoniobeas6926]

Wow, great video. I am an English teacher and I will use this video in my classes firstly to teach my students what stem cells are, then to practice very useful vocabulary, and last but not least to have a discussion on the topic. If I may, of course.

You are the best teacher ever! Good job

[@tacticaltrex6490]

Thank you for the information, it was very well organized and presented. It helped me with my research paper regarding Ethics of using Embryonic Stem Cells.

[@BeverlyBiology]

Glad I could help... thanks for watching

[@saumyasingh9369]

Right now it is 5:09AM in india, today is my exam, and this was the topic i wasn't clear about.. You have made this so easy.. Great teacher you are!!! 🙏 I am really not prepare well for my exam.. I hope i clear this paper😭

How'd it go?

[@isaacobamehinti7030]

very objective video! Thank you for the information and illustrations, very helpful!

[@pipercoleman4920]

Very helpful, thank you. I am now educated and can make a decision based on facts instead of feelings, which were only in place because of ignorance. Thank you

[@blessthelordohmysoul1467]

Thank you Sir. Ummm Just on time when I am dealing to understant how works this process of embryonic ateam cells . This is great video...

[@callumfrodsham5195]

Very interesting! Thanks!

[@patje821]

Thank You, for the information given, in the steps of forming cells, parts of the proces,and, for the different situations that come with it. and that the studies ,medical uses can and are very important.

[@SLAseries]

this is the best vedio to learn or knowing about the procedure .so many thanks for making this vedio

[@afgnoori1]

Thanks A lot , very interesting topic and excellent explanation. Well done

[@Trx-ep7rg]

I finally understood this. Thanks!

[@jaelieevans8422]

Excellent video! I appreciate you uploading and sharing these facts. This video has really helped me to understand exactly the what, who, when, where, and why's of stem cell research. Now I will be able to use my own thoughts to generate my decision on the issue. Thank you very much! Have a wonderful day!

[@Shilko-ps2ri]

Thanks a lot man, you made it very clear and understandable 😁

[@thomasfigueroa510]

[@thesingdance101]

Thank you sooooooo much! VERY informative

[@easylee4uify]

Good explanation, information is power

[@uncleruckus9241]

My views are that human rights intrinsically belong to "human beings". A "human being" is a multi-cellular organism comprising of a network of highly specialised systems including the nervous, circulatory, respiratory and skeletal systems. Human beings are also bipedal, mammalian vertebrates. If the entity under investigation does not meet the above criteria, then human rights cannot be conferred to said entity IMHO. Thank you for encouraging free thought and informed decision making.

[@iammaru5212]

Hi,i like your presentation.Very simple and easy to understand.Thanks for sharing this video.I just want to ask if you still the have the powerpoint you used for this presentation?

[@batakrushnamallik3086]

It was a very informative and very useful.

[@danielbutts986]

thank you for this sir!

[@randyreynolds1045]

We need to keep the research going.

[@SkyDogSocial]

Isn't this why the industry has shifted to Mesenchymal Stem Cells? From Wharton's Jelly surrounding the umbilical cord from a healthy mother & child via a C-section delivery.

[@callumfrodsham5195]

Welcome, good sir!

[@calicornnor6892]

I've been trying to find anywhere in the US that is offering this treatment or even a clinical trial so I could save my daughter who was roofied at 21 years old while out dancing with friends celebrating her college graduation which resulted in her having severe brain damage and is in a vegetative state. Embryotic stem cells could save her .

[@FaithObadun]

thank. you this was exteremly helpful

[@BeverlyBiology]

+Wura Obadun I'm glad you enjoyed this... thanks for watching.

[@elnorahonoridez9931]

Beverly Biology thanks for the information about stemcells

[@koodreadtv]

Informative 👍👍✨

[@lucyroh1017]

Very interesting video. Thank you.

[@BeverlyBiology]

Glad you liked... thanks for watching

[@ritareilly8548]

This video is very understandable. Thank you! It helps clarify the issue. We have to be careful in our research not to overstep our boundaries in what is supernatural design. I believe life begins at conception & destroying an embryo for research or wasting it from in vitro fertility practices is destroying human life.

[@Ninalearns]

Great video! thank you!!

[@goodnessnwanya5372]

Thanks so much 😊 For the info

[@nathaniel2101]

[@yaxiu3799]

Great tutor!

[@phiphedude7684]

Thank you so much

[@uasakura]

my take is.... if they are going to be disposed as medical waste, why dont we research it? It is only not ethical if people force the woman to take it from a parent....

[@wakeg40]

Very helpful, little redundant, had to fast forward a few times but very informative. I’m very pro life but I think I’m ok with this as they’re being thrown away anyway...

[@wcsoblake85]

I really wanted to watch this but the audio was too bad. Maybe they will re upload

[@_Will.O]

great video

[@sukimusk675]

Love it!

[@BeverlyBiology]

+Suki Musk Thank you for the compliment... best wishes to you

[@ADS_Fenix]

Am I correct in understanding that all stem cell research is done on blastocysts that are a result of the sperm donation process you described, and also that all of those blastocysts are destroyed whether or not they are used for the research? If that is the case and I'm not misunderstanding, it would seem that morality question lies more within the "artificial" pregnancy process (for lack of a better term) which produces wasted blastocysts, no?

[@andrewmackay1423]

Very informative video. I was thinking similarly to Yourself, Spiritus Fenix. I think I am against that process that causes the destruction of surplus Zygotes: The fertilisation part is still natural and very real when it comes to the egg and sperm. I would say that life starts before the Zygote: Life starts in the head with a concious decision: I am of the line that animal passions should be governed by reason and moral standards. The first thought of starting up a family, for me, ought to be through the genuine marriage contract and full intention of bringing in life. I am against any suppresion, or stolen pleasure, from the natural process that frustrates the leading up to a Family. I would not be against artificial means between husband and wife in principle; so long as it does not lead to disgarded Zygotes. A thought occurs: Do these really need to be human for research, anyway?

[@iraqplayer7270]

Thank you for this great video!!!! I have a question at 15:18, what happens with these 9 blastocysts? You said they become "destroyed and considered as medical waste"..... But does that mean they are discarded or "killed" eventually?

[@refinnej5302]

I guess leaving them out of the fridge is killing them. They go off to be disposed at a facility that properly disposes hospital waste like organs and limbs.

[@tootalljones77]

Exactly! So why not use them for science research and help others if they're going to be discarded anyway? Are these zealots also against an individuals right to donate their organs at their time of death?

[@maysaraaljumaily]

I honestly don't know. Even if they are eventually discarded, do we have the right to harvest them? I mean think about us as human beings. We might pass away and our healthy organs might save other people. It is fair for us to get buried with these life-saving organs but use none of them? Or should there be someone else deciding beyond our preference? Both are correct in their own ways and could be criticized accordingly as well.

[@PINEAPPLEKELLY3]

Can you give us info on Anrenochrome what is it used for? And where it comes from?

[@ibraheem19908]

great job

[@BeverlyBiology]

thank you for your feedback

[@jrbtransportllc]

It's really helped me a lot..right now I'm suffering from maniscus damage of my right knee and Doctor wants to remove that...could u help me ... Because removing maniscus is not the solution....thanks

[@cesflores1348]

If a person goes stem cell procedure. How many years it will last before he or she goes again for the stem cell procedures?

[@dcedce2907]

I'm glad I was safe when I was a blastocyst.

[@bestrate2254]

Thank you so much for your efforts to explain. Indeed very detailed. Obama's decision is the right one in my opinion.

[@leira240]

what year was this video posted?

[@joestar8112]

I feel this controversy is quite similar to the argument concerning abortion

[@charlescabana7849]

I have MD and I was hoping to be treated with stem cells but it seems that it’s not available in the hospital center where I go. Very frustrating.

[@tootalljones77]

Ukraine, SKorea or Japan

Does anyone know who stem cells can or has it helped anyone with prostate issues? /Either an enlarged prostate, or prostate cancer?

[@chemistryrocker6958]

Sir What is the reference for it?

[@wayne02058]

hi, i know this is an old video, but is this still relevant? i believe we can now create stem cells from blood or skin cells and turn them into IPS cells, which no longer needs to sacrifice a life.

[@ahmadrabaa1235]

Would this stem cell therapy work on a two year old baby girl that has severe cerebral palsy?

[@limitlesspossibilitiesOLSC]

yes there is

[@ahmadrabaa1235]

Can you notify me of the source who I can call or a website I need to do this for my daughter. Thank you

[@limzhiyu1530]

i thought the embryonic stem cells can develop in almost all cell types except the extra embryonic cells like the placenta

[@genesis204]

Life starts there for sure that’s life. What about umbilical stem cells explain that next ?

[@theonlinetroll6946]

Are there any alternatives? To gain ploropotent stem cells

So I can take my eggs out at any age as long as they are still healthy and exist. Then use sperm donor to create my own stem sells. If everyone creates their own stem sells then there would be less crimes.

[@feliciagoodman9715]

Is the buzzing in the background aggravating to anyone? Or is it just me?

[@jamesaburke7]

Stem Cells can also be derived from an adult. I actually found this video to be biased, because it didn't mention that at all, and made it seem as if destroying blastocysts was necessary. Stem Cells are found in many places including the brain, bone marrow, peripheral blood, blood vessels, skeletal muscle, skin, teeth, heart, gut, liver, ovarian epithelium, testis, and more. No sperm or blastocysts are needed. When changed into a pluripotent stem cell in a lab, that behave exactly like an embryonic stem cell. Granted the younger the person is from where the cells come from, the 'easier' they are to find, use, and multiply. This is why stem cell research was 'initially' done on blastocysts.Today they can be easily found within the same adult who needs them, and changed into a pluripotent stem cells. These cells could initially be derived from their own bone marrow for example. I do not believe there was ever an ethical problem, wt using embryonic stem cells, but since stem cells can be easily found, and used within the same adult now, there shouldn't be an ethical dilemma wt anyone. I realize that you the video was entitled embryonic stem cells, and their controversy (unbiased view,) but why didn't you mention anywhere in you talk, that stem cells do not require a "sadly destroyed" blastocyst. By not mentioning that it kinda makes your talk biased, or at least ill-informed. BTW Pluripotent Stem cells were discovered in Japan in 2006, and are often used as part of Californian Stem Cell initiative.

[@chantel8869]

unlike embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells can not turn into any type of cell but only certain ones such as blood cells

[@theonlinetroll6946]

IPCs they exist

[@Hishealthservant]

You said when the cells grow into a human baby at 9 months. Early on in the presentation...Great presentation though. Interesting research. I personally feel no moral conflict about the use of these types of embryonic cells: They are not cells from aborted babies. Having said this, I will lean on the wisdom and understanding from God and not my own while this opinion develops. Just now being exposed to these ideas.
