Stem Cells

There has been a lot of controversy surrounding stem cells and the ethics of stem cell research. But before you form an opinion, make sure you have all the facts. It's a good idea to start by familiarizing yourself with exactly what stem cells are. Then learn about the different types and sources of stem cells- including embryonic stem cells- so you can see exactly what each type is used for.

And be sure to get the basics on stem cell therapy, including how stem cells form into particular cells and an overview on what it means to find a "perfect match" for a transplant.

Finally, get the facts on the issues of stem cells and what they could mean to you and your family.
