"Is this Mrs. Allison?" an unfamiliar voice replied.
"Yes. Is something wrong?" Sandy asked, her heart beating in her throat.
"I'm very sorry to tell you this over the phone ma'am, but your son Jim has been in a car accident. He is in stable
condition right now, but it would be best if you could get to the hospital as soon as possible."
Sandy didn't remember the car ride to the hospital. Thankfully, her husband Matt kept his composure as he drove. It
took all of Sandy's concentration to make out the words the attending physician was saying.
"The good news is that even though your son lost a lot of blood in the car accident, he is in stable condition at the
moment. However, his spinal cord was injured at the T7 vertebra, and the resulting inflammation damaged precious
nerve cells in that area, cells that are essential for carrying clectrical impulses to Jim's legs."
The attending physician paused and swallowed. "In other words, your son is paralyzed from the chest down. We are
not sure that he will be able to walk again."
As shock and dread washed over her, Sandy had to hold on to Matt so she wouldn't fall. The physician's next words
came to her as if from very far away.
"We do believe that your son would be a very good candidate for an experimental treatment using injection of human
embryonic stem cells into the site of the damaged nerve cells. If you'd like, I can put you in touch with Dr. Gupta, the
physician who is leading the clinical trial."
Sandy could barely concentrate. She had so many questions to ask the doctors before she would even consider
subjecting Jim to such a treatment.
Questions
1. What is a stem cell?
2. How are embryonic stem cells different from other types of stem cells?
3. Given their function, how do you think embryonic stem cells are used as a treatment for damaged cells?

Part I- Late Night News
Sandy was barely watching the reality show on TV. Instead, she was anxiously waiting for her son Jim to arrive home
for the weekend. As a freshman in college, Jim didn't get a chance to come home often, so Sandy was thrilled to
spend a few days with him. However, she did not appreciate the fact that he was going to be home so late. Jim knew
how worried she got whenever he drove home late at night. Her husband Matt, on the other hand, was completely
absorbed in the TV show. That's men for you, thought Sandy.
The phone ring startled Sandy out of her thoughts.
"Hello?" she answered in a high-pitched voice that surprised her.
"Is this Mrs. Allison?" an unfamiliar voice replied.
"Yes. Is something wrong?" Sandy asked, her heart beating in her throat.
"Tm very sorry to tell you this over the phone ma'am, but your son Jim has been in a car accident. He is in stable
