Embryonic stem cells are non-differentiated cells derived from developing embryos (blastocyst stage). This means a stem cell can give rise to any type of cell, such as a muscle cell or nerve cell. They are also very long-lived and self-sustaining. These cells are of particular interest to scientists because they have incredible potential in treating conditions such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and juvenile diabetes just to name a few (Thomson, 1998). However, these cells are harvested from embryos developed by in vitro fertilization (egg and sperm are united outside the body in a laboratory). These embryos are donated for research by couples ...
