WHAT ARE STEM WHAT ARE STEM CELLS?CELLS?

nonspecialized cells which have the

potential to create other

types of specific cells

Embryonic stem cells are master cells that

can morph into any

cell of the body.

Scientists believe that embryonic stem cells can provide tissues

to replace defective organ

tissues.

There could be new treatments for

diseases that are currently incurable.

Including diabetes, heart disease,

Parkinson's disease and maybe even Alzheimer's,

or new nerve connections to

restore movement after spinal injury.

Economy?All of the stem cell research

companies have shown a large loss of money between 2000-2004 due to the veto of the Stem Cell research bill

by President Bush. Job loss also

occurred.
