You can donate stem cells for medical research, however they are less useful than that of the afterbirth of infants. Stem cells are blank cells which are used in the production of specialized cells in the body.

Yes, it is possible to donate stem cells. There are two main methods to donate stem cells: 1) Peripheral blood stem cell donation, which involves extraction of cells from the bloodstream, and 2) Bone marrow donation, which requires a surgical procedure to collect cells from the hipbone. You can register as a donor through various organizations and potentially be matched with a patient in need.

What are the types of stem cells?
There are five basic stem cells classifications there is embryonic stem cells, fetal stem cells. There are the Umbilical cord stem cells, placenta stem cells, and lastly there are adult stem cells.
Are fetal cells only source of stem cells?
There are 2 type of stem cells * embryonic stem cells * and adult stem cells fetal stem cells are grouped into the adult stem cell category
What are the three types of stem cells in adults?
Three types of stem cells in adults are hematopoietic stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells, and neural stem cells.
What type of cells have the ability to divide and produce new cells throughout their lifetime?
Pluripotent stem cells.
What type of cell are stem stem cell described as?
Stem cells are considered as undifferentiated cells. They will divide and divide forming more stem cells. The two main stem cell types are embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. Only the embryonic stem cells can become any type of tissue. Embryonic stem cells have the potential to become any type of cell in the body. There is news as of 2015 that perhaps blindness can be cured using these embryonic stem cells.
