“If
there were 58 more wars on the scale of World War II, this would allow a time
traveler to glimpse the possibility that, somewhere in the future, there would
be scientists who mastered approximately 100% knowledge of the human brain and
its behavioral variants. . There is only one detail for this to be true: Never
having read Friedrich Nietzsche!” (SOUZA, 2023)
ABSTRACT
This article
addresses the issue of scientific research with stem cells, with the aim of
clarifying how much progress has already been made in terms of knowledge on the
subject and the possible results of the tests carried out. Its scientific relevance
lies in the fact that it expands data that are already factual and also the
discussion on possibilities that arise with each discovery. Its social
relevance is presented in the condition of exposing to society the medical work
that may improve the living conditions of individuals who suffer from disorders
and pathologies, which are still considered to be incurable today. This is a
bibliographical, descriptive, analytical and explanatory research, based on
data. The great challenge that arises in relation to this subject is that,
these studies demand longevity, high costs, deepening about the etiology of the
diseases that most interest to find cure through the technique, solution of
ethical and bioethical conflicts, pertinent legislation that supports such
large-scale investigations. With each successful experiment, a whole range of
publications, in various communication vehicles, are carried out, with the
purpose of exalting the hope of hopeless patients and, with this, it is hoped
to move public opinion, forcing congress to donate money to medical research
involving treatment with stem cells and loosening biosafety laws related to the
manipulation of living organisms and research with human embryos and fetuses.
The positive results so far found are from assays on in vitro cultured cells.
Keywords: Stem cell research. Stem cells. Bioethics. Biosecurity.
