This cell above may change medical health and cures forever…. but we aren’t there yet…I think? For adult stem cells are taken out of one’s own body so there is no ethical or rejection issue. Stem cells can transform into tissue or even organs where there is a weakness in one’s body to save limbs and some say lives as well. Yet here are the concerns that stop me from being a client or endorsing others as such.
(1) MUTATION- Since we are putting these cells in areas that they weren’t normally meant to be could they then later on mutate into cells that cause damage or even death such as Cancer cells?
(2) CONFUSED-Is it possible that a stem cell put into one part of body may not know how best to function and transfer into something it wasn’t meant to be (ex bone cell instead of skin cell)
(3) CONTAMINATION- Even in the best conditions contamination can occur so if the cells aren’t preserved correctly they can release germs instead of solutions into one’s system.
SOLUTION- Adult Stem Cell Bank where one can put aside there cells until the research has been perfected and allow them to harvest/grow in the meantime. This should be performed in a facility that is well regulated and controlled.
