stem cell research
Therapeutic cloning science
Stem cell research is scientific investigation into cells that can develop into many different cell types.
These undifferentiated cells, found in embryos and some adult tissues, hold potential for treating diseases by replacing damaged cells.
The field generates controversy because some research uses cells harvested from human embryos: Stem cell research offers hope for Parkinson's patients.
The debate over stem cell research centers on when life begins.
