Today, cloning gives new hope to many patients because embryonic stem cell research has led many scientists to believe that they can use cells to make advances in medicine. They predict that stem cells can help treat many ailments, such as cancer and the need for a kidney transplant, both of which have no cures or take a long time to find the correct treatment. The scientists could use the new, healthy cells to replace the old cells, which make the new cells produce within themselves. However, cloning can be seen as an unnatural way to treat diseases because neither doctors nor scientists have done this experiment before. The scientists will not know whether new cells are good enough to inject in the humans' body. Many patients have to rely on the idea of stem cells research for hope of survival. This idea is a long way from being fulfilled, but hope for the diseases to be cured is what patients need. .
To begin with, cloned embryonic stem cells could help many patients with life threatening problems such as heart attacks, cancer, or the need for a kidney transplant. Each year, more than 600,000 people suffer heart attacks and nearly one third of them die (Heart Attack 2). Family members always worry about their loved one having heart attack at home whenever this person has to stay alone. If cloned stem cells are successful, the doctor can use healthy heart cells and inject the cells into the area where the heart has been damaged. The patients do not have to worry if they will have the heart attack again and do not have the worry about taking the medicine on time. Some people would rather commit suicide when told by a doctor that they have three months to live or a ten percent chance of living. They might think that committing suicide is an equally reasonable death. Thus, it does not matter how many months or days they have left, since they are going to die anyway. Since cancer is ranked second for leading cause of death in the United States, embryonic stem cells also give new hope to people with cancer (Cancer Statistic 1).
