    been doing recent studies on embryonic stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are the cells that aid the process of child growth while in the womb. These cells have a specific function to reproduce into any body part, such as a heart or major organ to hair or something not so major. Research shows that these cells have many potential medical benefits in the future. Embryonic stem cell research should continue to be pursued in society today. Embryonic stem cell research has led to medical benefits to aid

    Benefits of Stem Cell Research By: Ishaan Sharma A stem cell is an immature cell that has the ability to become specialized into other types of cells in the body. There are two types of stem cells, adult stem cells and embryonic stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are produced when an already fertilized egg starts to divide, and can become any type of cell in the body. An adult stem cell is found in developed tissue, dividing regularly as specialized cells to take the place of lost or dead ones. Using

In other words, stem cells are the multiple cells in your body that are capable of replacing or repairing other damaged or missing cells. For a long time, until fairly recently, scientists have

My International Baccalaureate biology teacher was the first to bring up this subject. He said that stem cells were pluripotent, meaning they could become any cell in the body. The catch however is that most of these cells come from blastocysts, which are cells of a human embryo five to six days after fertilization. For my theory of knowledge
