Draft speech (not fully completed)


Stem cells are known to most people worldwide and are mostly thought that they are useless except for helping the body by getting rid of sickness and colds. But research shows that they can do a lot more than just getting rid of the familiar cold. If scientist, doctors, nurses and surgeons looked and listened and even tried out some of the research that people have found than they could possibly have the ability to cure diseases and disabilities that were said to be incurable such as paraplegics and some forms of cancer.

For instance, someone who can’t walk could have damaged spinal cells. This is often caused by a spinal cord injury. This could happen by damaging someone’s oligodendrocytes cells. The oligodendrocytes cells are what send the messages to the brain to move the legs. There for they can walk.

But research shows that if new stem cells replace the old, broken ones then they could repair the spinal cord, there for giving some one the ability to walk. But saying that you need to be able to get the stem cells from somewhere and some people may disagree with they ways that they get collected.

There are certain ways that these stem cells are to be collected. When a baby is born it has the umbilical cord is still attached. The umbilical cord has a massive amount of red blood cells which can be used to repair the back.
