Health careers may feature stem cell research-Health Careers News 30 Oct 2009

People who wish to embark on health careers may agree with the comments of an expert, who touched upon the morals behind stem cell research.

Josephine Quintavalle, director of Comments on Reproductive Ethics, expressed disagreement with the idea of destroying human embryos for the purposes of research.

She said: "There are too many question marks at the moment to give it endorsement. We certainly don't endorse the current research."

Ms Quintavalle went on to suggest that scientists would need to ensure the process behind creating artificial sperm and eggs needs to remain safe.

The remarks follow news of a developments announced by the National Institutes of Health, which found that human embryonic stem cells can be changed into germ cells.

People who are keen to build a career in healthcare may be fascinated by the research, which could help shed light on unexplained infertility, according to Susan B Shurin, acting director of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development in America.
