STEM CELLS USE OF STEM CELLS; MORTAL, ETHICAL OR MORAL? WHAT IS A STEM CELL • A human body's master cell • STEM CELLS have two defining properties: 1) the ability to differentiate into other cells. 2) the ability to selfregenerate TYPES OF STEM CELLS • Adult stem cells or tissuespecific stem cells. • Fetal Stem cells. • Cord Blood stem Cells. • Embryonic Stem Cells. • Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPS cells) HOW THEY WORK 1. They can be manipulated 2. Manipulation involves changing the media 3. Process is done in labs by Biochemists 4. Regenerate and repair tissues and organs. 5. Grown to become organs for use in transplants TREATMENTS AND USES •Blood and bone cancers •Heart damage •Brain damage •Anatomical organs Including skin •Parkinson's disease & other conditions BENEFITS OUTWEIGH THE CONTROVERSY •TURN THE TABLES •SUPPORTERS •PROS •CONS •THE BALL IS IN YOUR COURT
