__Decription:__
I read an aticle from TIME magazine and then I wrote a blog in response to what I learned.

__Impact__:
I enjoyed reading the article and writing a response to what I read. I was very opiniated on this topi. Someone very close to me just recently had an adult stem cell transplant so once i read this article I knew I would write a blog about it. Although many people are against stem cell research I strongly approve it. I have learned that transplanting stem cells could be a valuable option to the medical field. In society this contervesy has created much discussion in whether stem cell transplants should happen. I think transplanting adult stem cells are a positive thing in the medical field. It gives sick people the opportunity to regenerate more good cells than bad. In my opinion stem cell research and utilization has been benificial to a growing number of patients in need of stem cell transplants. But, i disagree with harvesting embryos for the use of transplanting stem cells into other humans. Also because I personally know some one who has recieved an adult stem cell transplant; it has become easier to understand the benefits and the necessity of this procedure. Therefore I Support adult stem cell research and use of volunteers that donate their stem cells to the medical field.

__Intent:__
I plan on informing others about this controversy. I hope to educate others around me on my knowledge on this subject. Not only because I have read and learned opinions approving and dissaproving this topic but I have personal experience with someone who has gone through. My goal is to open minded to others opinion but still make my opinions clear. I was very glad to have done this blog it helped me to realize that not everyone agrees with stem cell research
