What stem cells are obtained from individuals not embryos?
adult stem cells
Controversy of stem cells?
The controversy surrounding stem cells arises out of the need to use stem cells from embryos which then get destroyed.
What is the main source of embryonic stem cells?
Embryos...
Will Jehovah Witnesses accept stem cells?
Witnesses do not believe in transplants of any kind, so they are against the use of stem cells.
How is stem cell different from adult animal cells?
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.

Which cells are removed from early embryos?
Stem cells.

Are stem cells human?
Yes, some stem cells do come from humans. The stem cells are taken from embryos. Animals also have stem cells used in research.

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 sources of stem cells presents the greatest ethical problems or controversies?
Stem cells can be harvested by destroying human embryos.
What is the difference between embryonic and adult stem cells?
An embryonic stem cell potentially can develop into ANY cell in the body theoretically without limit to replenish, and an adult stem cell is only able to mature into a specialised tissue cell from which tissue the cell is positioned.
What is the debate about stem cells?
Scientists believe stem cells from human embryos could hold the key to treatments and cures for disease. Basically it is a debate about stem cell research.
Where are the stem cells that replace old blood cell located in adults?
In the bones.
