Conclusion stem cell

Human stem cells have introduced many hopes in medicine. There are still many scientific questions and unknowns surrounding the issue. Stem cell therapeutic options may not have widespread application in the short term. Significant concerns exist about the ethical, social and  legal  consequences  of  the  use  of  the  cells  in  research  and  treatment.  Bioethicists, religious leaders, regulatory bodies, and political bodies have discussed these matters and attempted to  address the consequences in appropriate ways. We aimed to review some relevant challenges in this chapter, in the hope of strengthening the relation between science and  ethics.  The  various  positions  that  different  monotheistic   religions  have  adopted regarding this novel type of research were also reviewed in this chapter.

Stem  cell  science  is  rapidly  evolving  in  the  world;  however,  finding  alternatives  and
carrying  out  parallel  research  are  important.  While  some  scientists  believe  that  ethical concerns are barriers to scientific progress, others are worried about  the harms and seek new alternatives such as iPS cells which can address the issue of human dignity in the field of stem cell research.
Given the promises of stem cell research, it seems that there is a conflict between the duty to
reduce suffering and the duty to respect human life. It is more sensible to regulate stem cell research than to ban it. In countries with government-sponsored  activities in the field of stem cell research, ethical observance and control over private and public activities can be more effectively maintained.
Stem cell markets and tourism should be controlled, regulated and supervised. The general
public should be engaged more actively in this discussion and in finding  solutions and guidelines.
