The world of medicine will be revolutionized by stem cell research. This revolution could bring about utter disaster or life changing miracles; it all lies in the hands of humans. Stem cell research is believed to have potential that can give rise to medical breakthroughs by answering the daunting questions that illnesses and disease bring. Yet‚ with all of the static that stem cell research can create these predictions are just that‚ and stem cell research could possibly cause more harm than good

Along with the trials and tribulations scientists had to go through generating iPS cells like the protesting and strict laws against using ES Cells due to the fact that the ES Cells are derived from the inner cell masses (ICM) of blastocysts also known as Embryonic Stem (ES) Cells and the embryos possibility of one
