Stem cells are needed because they become specialized cells within the body, helping organs regenerate and heal.
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.
Pluripotent stem cells.
Yes and No. The only big difference is the procedures used in harvesting adult stem cells is considered legal and safe. There's no need to kill a human embryo. Adult stem cells can be harvested from cord blood or human bone marrow. But embryonic stem cells are able to make more kinds of cells than adult stem cells.
You can donate stem cells for medical research, however they are less useful than that of the afterbirth of infants. Stem cells are blank cells which are used in the production of specialized cells in the body.
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).

There are three different types of tissue stem cells in the body. They include the tissue stem cells also known as adult stem cells, embryonic stem cells, and induced pluripotent stem cells.
Multipotent stem cells

What kind(s) of cells can develop from unipotent stem cells
Pluripotent stem cells.
Stem cells are cells that are able to divide continuously without specializing. These kind of cells are undifferentiated biological cells.

Yes, some stem cells do come from humans. The stem cells are taken from embryos. Animals also have stem cells used in research.
embryonic stem cells can differentiate into more types of cells
