My name is Miranda Walters. I am currently a freshman in college at Georgia Southern University. I am majoring in biology and minoring in chemistry, with my degree I hope to become a dentist. I am currently taking English 1102 this semester and researching about embryonic stem cell research. With the research i have found, I am able to write a well-informed argumentative paper on whether or not the government should fund embryonic stem cell research. Through this course I have learned a lot about how to become a better writer. I learned how to research an argument and from that argument write a claim, chose an audience to write to, and provide evidence to back it up. I have also learned how to write more efficiently and use diction and tone to make my essays more reliable and relevant to the subject of matter. Looking back on this course, I will take with me all the techniques and strategies in writing I learned, to help me in the future and make me a better overall writer.

Embryonic stem cell research is known to help prevent from early stages of cancer as well as early stages of Alzheimer's disease. Scientists extract human stem cells from the embryo when they are 5 to 9 weeks old. According to ScienceDaily stem cells and a number of cancerous cells share the same genetic program. By these cells sharing the same genetics, it means that the cancerous cells are welcoming to the embryonic cells and won't kill them off as they enter the body. This gives hope to scientists in developing lasting cures and potentially can lead to the end of cancer.
