What is Stem Cell Research?
I keep hearing about it but Im not sure what it is or why it is said to be very controversial? Is it cells from the human spinal chord? Any knowledge you have is appreciated. Thanks

The best stem cells are in the rump!
Just kidding, they're in very young fetuses. |

Basically (and simplified) stem cells are cell that are yet to develop a distinct feature or role. That means they can be "persuaded" to be any kind of cell - I guess you could call it a non-developed cell.
What the research is trying to do, is making the cells develop into a certain cell, so that it could be inserted where needed (eyes for people with bad sight, brain for people with Alzheimer's). |
