Best Answer

A stem cell is a cell that has the ability to generate itself into any body part or cell type of the organism it is developing. Stem cells are found in the blastocyst of an embryo and ALSO in adults. Because adults have already finished developing, the stems cells are then used to maintain regenerative organs such as skin, blood or intestinal tissues. All other adult cells do not have the ability to regenerate.

Stem cells harvested from embryos are taken from babies that have been murdered. Stem cells taken from adults involves no murder.
