The Good, The Bad & The Ugly Stem Cell Research The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

What is a STEM CELL? A cell from a human that can become ANY cell in the body Sources: Cord Blood Adult sources Aborted Fetuses Aborted are the most desirable (work the best)

Obvious Promise: These are being cured NOW!!! Cure Diseases Diabetes Parkinson's Certain Blindnesses Fractures Tissue transplants Heart attack damage Heart disease Leukemia Radiation Poisoning (infection) These are being cured NOW!!!

Other potential cures: Multiple Sclerosis Lou Gehrig’s Huntington’s Disease Nerve Damage Hypoxia (lack of air) Severed / paralysis Stroke

With all this promise, why the question? Obvious reasons that involve the embryo Rights Life? Unwilling donor? Method can be considered human cloning Example:
