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.

Is there a difference between the stem cell debate and the embryonic stem cell debate?

Yes. Embryonic stem cells are controversial due to the destruction needed of a fetus. The debate over this is whether the unborn child has a right to life. (Embyonic stem cell debate). However, there are adult stem cells that come from adults. Scientists have been able to get these adult stem to replicate embryonic stem cell properties, and depending on who you ask, the adult stem cells have proven more useful than embryonic stem cells. Since adult stem cells do not destroy anybody, there is nearly non-existant debate with this.


What do the stem cells do?

embryonic stem cells are the first cells that appear after conception and have the possibility of turning into any cell needed for the body. Adult stem cells are not as easy to manipulate but they can also potentially turn into various tissues as well. The debate about them is whether "babies" ie a collection of cells, should be killed in an effort to try and duplicate damned tissues, like the pancreas for diabetics or nerve cells for Parkinsons (sorry if it's misspelled). Hopefully, by the use of adult cells,this debate can end and people can be cured. Hope this helped :)

Stem cells are cells that are able to divide continuously without specializing. These kind of cells are undifferentiated biological cells.


What the big deal about stem cell resurch?

Stem cell research is important because it has the potential to revolutionize medicine by providing treatments and cures for various diseases and injuries. Stem cells have the ability to develop into different types of cells in the body, making them valuable for regenerative medicine. However, ethical concerns surrounding the use of embryonic stem cells have sparked debate and controversy in the field.


What are the three types of stem cells in adults?

The three types of stem cells in adults are hematopoietic stem cells (found in bone marrow and produce blood cells), mesenchymal stem cells (found in various tissues like bone marrow and fat, can differentiate into bone, cartilage, and fat cells), and neural stem cells (found in the brain and spinal cord, can differentiate into neurons and supporting cells).
