Embryonic Stem Cells are 'pre-cells' that have not decided what they're going to become yet. They can grow into any human tissue, muscle, bone, or brain; including parts of your body like the spine that cannot heal by itself. Already we can grow new teeth. It's amazing.

This is the most important advancement since the invention of antibiotics.
Actually Christopher Reeve himself admitted in an interview awhile ago that embryonic stem cell research could NOT heal an injury such as his, however he did still support the research. Wrong again, dummy.
