Executive Summary

This paper will discuss the relationship between biology and cardiology through the eyes of the Cleveland Clinic, the world's leader in heart innovation.

Cleveland Clinic

The Cleveland Clinic, in Cleveland, Ohio, is the number one heart hospital in the world and has been held this rating for the past 13 years.

The National Institute of Health advises "Studying stem cells will help us understand how they transform into the dazzling array of specialized cells that make us what we are. Some of the most serious medical conditions, such as cancer and birth defects, are due to problems that occur somewhere in this process. A better understanding of normal cell development will allow us to understand and perhaps correct the errors that cause these medical conditions." (2009)

Questions

I have a strong dislike for drug companies and feel these companies are blocking cures, as with a cure the drug companies will lose profits.

With stem cells being the savior, why is there so much controversy? Why would society turn its back on something so wonderful? Is it society, religion or the drug companies holding back progress?
