Embryonic Stem Cells, induced pluripotent Stem Cells, Cell therapy, Nuclear Transfer, therapeutic cloning, scientific rationality and ethics, creative thinkingAbstract
Human Embryonic Stem Cells were discovered in 1998 and many speculations arose about their therapeutic possibilities, motivated by ideological, political and economic aspects. The difficulties were insurmountable. However, induced Pluripotent Stem Cells appeared in 2007 and this research trajectory showed key aspects of creative thinking. a) Motivation ethics to find a nondestructive starting point to mark the rationality of that way: the physiological processes occur within the unit of an organism. b) A thorough knowledge of the scientific experience to choose the most natural way. c) Future vision exhausting possibilities offered by animal testing and finding useful applications for the knowledge obtained. d) Responsibility for the consequences.
