Topic: Stem Cell Research; Issue: Should the Stem Cell Research be accepted?
Allum, N., Allansdottir, A., Gaskell, G., Hampel, J., Jackson, J., Moldovan, A., ... &
Stoneman, P. (2017). Religion and the public ethics of stem-cell research: Attitudes
in Europe, Canada and the United States. PloS one, 12(4), e0176274.
The authors are researchers in various organizations in Europe and USA such as
Fondazione Toscana Life Sciences in Italy and London School of Economics- Department of
Methodology. They conducted a survey from North America and Europe regarding their view
on stem cell research. They realized that various factors such as religion, morals, ethics, and
public opinion influence the altitude of the people significantly on stem cell research. Most of the
people supported the stem cell research claiming that it offers several benefits in the healthy
system provided the process is tightly regulated. They found that although many religious people
approved the process in all the countries, the citizens of US approved it on the basis of religious
convictions as compared to Europe and Canada. Most of the data collected during the survey
showed that the people’s opinions were tied closely to their religion and moral authority.
Nevertheless, although there was a varying degree between these three nations on acceptability
of stem cell research, they all believed the benefits outweigh the challenges. Therefore, the
article offers supportive information regarding the argument that stem cell research should be
accepted.

ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY 3
The authors, researchers from the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada analyzed the
transition of stem cell research from the 20th to the 21st century. They discovered that there was a
need to move from the first-in-man trials to a more definite retrospective use of autologous stem
cell therapy especially in the recovery of the cardiac patients. They found that there was a bright
future for the patients suffering from chronic diseases such as cancer, multiple sclerosis,
muscular dystrophy, type 1 diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis due
to the discovery of novel techniques by various scientists as a result of stem cell research.
Therefore, this source is very useful as it gives a new understanding on how the stem cell
research offers a new promise on the field of clinical therapy and how various research
collaborations between epidemiological and biological institutions could go a long way in
improving the patient’s stem cell health.

medicine? A mini-review. Gerontology, 62(2), 216-225.
The authors are from the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Biomedical
Informatics in the Stanford and John Hopkins University and Department of Surgery (Victor W.
Wong) in the United States of America. They demonstrated how stem-cell based therapies have a
positive impact in enhancing cutaneous regeneration, especially in aged skin. Usually, as you
age, there is increased risk of diseases, as well as decreased response to the tissue insult leading
to impaired wound healing. The authors together with their research team have optimized the
progenitor cell selection and delivery of stem cell-based therapies in the treatment of chronic
wounds in aged patients such as bio-scaffold based approaches and microfluidic single cell
characterization. As such, this article offers essential information on how stem cell research
provides a promising approach to chronic would therapy in aged patients particularly through the
