This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Lab 6 First Draft, If funding new hESC lines is unjustifiable as it violates the fundamental human right to life, then the govenment would be violating fundamental human rights by helping fund the creation of new hESC lines and would therefore also be unjustified in funding new hESC lines. therefore (Argscheme: modus ponens) The govenment would be violating fundamental human rights by helping fund the creation of new hESC lines and would therefore also be unjustified in doing so., The govenment would be violating fundamental human rights by helping fund the creation of new hESC lines and would therefore also be unjustified in doing so. therefore (Argscheme: modus ponens) The government should NOT help fund the creation of new human embryonic stem cell lines, Pluripotent adult stem cells are just as significant as pluripotent hESC in terms of potency therefore (Argscheme: modus ponens) There are other alternatives, possibly better ones, that don't necessitate the use of hESC, If there is currently less funding and more practical treatment possible due to adult SC research than due to hESC research, then there are other alternative, possible better ones, that don't necessitate the use of hESC. therefore (Argscheme: modus ponens) There are other alternatives, possibly better ones, that don't necessitate the use of hESC, There is currently more practical treatment possible due to adult stem cell research than that due to hESC therefore (Argscheme: modus ponens) There are other alternatives, possibly better ones, that don't necessitate the use of hESC, Some do not consider human life to start at conception and therefore do not consider embryos to be persons yet. Objects If the violation of human rights is unjustifiable, even if it leads to good, and if it entails the destruction of embryos then funding new hESC lines would be unjustifiable since it violates the fundamental human right to life., If an amendment to the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2009, which was signed into law on March 11, 2009, bans federal funding of "research in which a human embryo or embryos are destroyed, discarded, or knowingly subjected to risk of injury or death." and if the creation of new embryonic stem cell lines entails the destruction of human embryos then the government should NOT help fund the creation of new embryonic stem cell lines therefore (Argscheme: modus ponens) The government should NOT help fund the creation of new human embryonic stem cell lines, Further amendmants can be passed to allow for the lifting of the ban on federal fudning for new hESC lines. Objeccts If an amendment to the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2009, which was signed into law on March 11, 2009, bans federal funding of "research in which a human embryo or embryos are destroyed, discarded, or knowingly subjected to risk of injury or death." and if the creation of new embryonic stem cell lines entails the destruction of human embryos then the government should NOT help fund the creation of new embryonic stem cell lines, If the govenment would be violating fundamental human rights by helping fund the creation of new hESC lines and would therefore also be unjustified in funding new hESC lines, then the government should NOT help fund the creation of new human embryonic stem cell lines. therefore (Argscheme: modus ponens) The government should NOT help fund the creation of new human embryonic stem cell lines, Funding new hESC lines would be unjustifiable as it violates the fundamental human right to life. therefore (Argscheme: modus ponens) The govenment would be violating fundamental human rights by helping fund the creation of new hESC lines and would therefore also be unjustified in doing so., There are a great number of scientists and doctors that, based upon their research and experience, consider life to start upon the joining of the male sperm and female egg, i.e. conception Objects Some do not consider human life to start at conception and therefore do not consider embryos to be persons yet., An amendment to the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2009, which was signed into law on March 11, 2009, bans federal funding of "research in which a human embryo or embryos are destroyed, discarded, or knowingly subjected to risk of injury or death." therefore (Argscheme: modus ponens) The government should NOT help fund the creation of new human embryonic stem cell lines, There is less funding fo adult stem cell research that there is for hESC research therefore (Argscheme: modus ponens) There are other alternatives, possibly better ones, that don't necessitate the use of hESC, If the violation of human rights is unjustifiable, even if it leads to good, and if it entails the destruction of embryos then funding new hESC lines would be unjustifiable since it violates the fundamental human right to life. therefore (Argscheme: modus ponens) Funding new hESC lines would be unjustifiable as it violates the fundamental human right to life., If it is the potency of stem cells, not the orgin, that determines the usefulness, then pluripotent adult stem cells are just as significant as pluripotent hESC in terms of potency. therefore (Argscheme: modus ponens) Pluripotent adult stem cells are just as significant as pluripotent hESC in terms of potency, Scientists have devloped a method by which to extract stem cells from embryos without destroying them. Objects The creation of new embryonic stem cells entails the destruction of human embryos., The violation of human rights is unjustifiable, even if it leads to good therefore (Argscheme: modus ponens) Funding new hESC lines would be unjustifiable as it violates the fundamental human right to life., Scientists have been able to induce pluripotent stem cells from adult stem cells. therefore (Argscheme: modus ponens) There are other alternatives, possibly better ones, that don't necessitate the use of hESC, It is the potency of stem cells, not the origin, that determines the usefulness. therefore (Argscheme: modus ponens) Pluripotent adult stem cells are just as significant as pluripotent hESC in terms of potency, If pluripotent stem cells are just as significant as pluripotent hESC in terms of potency and if scientists have been able to induce pluripotent stem cells from adult stem cells, then there are other alternatives, possibly better ones, that dont necessitate the use of hESC. therefore (Argscheme: modus ponens) There are other alternatives, possibly better ones, that don't necessitate the use of hESC
