How do different groups have different views of the stem cells?
The definition of a stem cell is not in question - it is a living cell taken from a living human that has the potential to become multiple different types of cells. The controversy is over embryonic stem cells - stem cells extracted from embryos. The removal of these cells causes the embryo to become non-viable and die. Some individuals feel this is acceptable - the embryos are not going to be implanted into a woman's uterus, so they are going to die anyway when they are discarded as medical waste. Further, the embryos are simply potential human life, but only if they are implanted into a uterus and carried through a nine-month pregnancy. At the time the stem cells are collected, the embryo is a potential human life, but does not have the same moral standing as a human adult. The information and potential treatments that can be derived from these tissues may save millions of lives. Other individuals feel this is unacceptable - the harvesting of stem cells causes the embryo to die, thus becomes equated with murder. To these individuals, the embryo is morally the same as an adult human, with the attendant right to life and to not be destroyed involuntarily for medical research.
Why spirogyra is included in algae?
It is eukariyotic Photosynthetic Found in water Do not have an embryo in life cycle
Parts of a pecan?
Embryo = Life - germ Outer coat = Shell Endrosperm = Meat
Similarities in the development of this early stage of life such as the presence of an amniotic sac show organisms are related?
Embryo
What embryo do not have an amnion?
The embryo that does not have an amnion is the human embryo. It is a membrane that covers the embryo when first formed. Mammals, reptiles and birds have this feature.
What are some animals that don't start life as embryo?
Lower animals including Protozoa don't start life as embryo.
A kernel of corn contains an embryo plant that is capable of becoming a complex plant with roots stalks leaves and ears of corn This potential reflects which property of life?
growth and development
How long can an embryo survive outside the womb?
It cannot. An embryo is completely reliant on its mother for life.
What is the relationship between fetus and embryo?
The embryo is the first stage of a baby's life then after 12 weeks it is called a fetus.

What is the life cycle of the American shad?
Eggs, Embryo, Larvae
Can two embryo come from one egg?
Yes that is possible, it has happened twice to me!
What is embryological developement?
Embryological development is the development of an embryo. An embryo is the beginning stages of life. Humans, other animals and some plants have the embryonic stage.
Can an artificially implanted embryo grow inside a male?
No, an artificially implanted embryo can't grow inside a male. A male does not have the organs to sustain life.
Should the embryo or fetus have any right in the matter when life begins?
Yes
