The use of stem cells is not unethical in and of itself, the ethics component revolves around the source of the stem cells and the concern that fetuses will be produced and intentionally destroyed in order to obtain stem cells.

∙ 14y agoThey can be used to replace any cell type at all, without the problems of finding a matching cell type and many other problems that arise in using cells from another organism: they are so versatile that we can take them from pigs and use them successfully in people.

What are the ethnics of using stem cells?
The use of stem cells is not unethical in and of itself, the ethics component revolves around the source of the stem cells and the concern that fetuses will be produced and intentionally destroyed in order to obtain 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.
How can a new body parts be made from stem cells?
Scientists can build new body parts from stem cells using a patients own bone marrow in a lab. They are now using 3D printers to make the body parts faster using stem cells.
List one advantage of using adult stem cells and one advantage of using embryonic stem cells?
Adult stem cells are useful when you want to make cells of the same tissue, as there is not much controversy about using them. Embryonic stem cells however are amazing as in the first few cell divisions they can turn into any type of cell, even a whole organ! However there is lots of ethical issues surrounding the use of these.
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.
Is using embryonic stem cells for research legally considered murder?
Using embryonic stem cells for research is not murder.

Animals' clones are made using which types of cells?
i am pretty sure they are made using stem cells
Is it possible to 'grow' meat using stem cells?
It is possible to grow meat by using stem cells, and the first \"in vitro beefburger\" was introduced to the public in August 2013.
What would you say to some that supports embryonic stem cells?
Using embryonic stem cells is unethical for many people, especially if they were only created for stem cell research.
What is difficult about using adult stem cells for regenerative medicine?
The older the subject is, the less capable their stem cells are at being able to diversify into all types of cells.

What organs have been treated using blood from the umbilical cord?
umbilical cord cell are stem cells that can be used to make other organs the cells are hematopic stem cells
What are two organs that are difficult repair using stem cells?
Currently only stem cells for diseases of the blood are available. Others are in testing mode.
