Stem cells are cells that are capable of generating specialized cells for specific areas of the human body. There are two different categories of stem cells. They are the adult or somatic stem cells and the embryonic stem cells. The embryonic stem cell is spawned when a recently fertilized egg divides‚ which is then capable of becoming any cell in the human body. The embryonic cells are vital because unlike the adult stem cells‚ embryonic cells have the ability to spawn every type of cell that
