Human Embryo Experimentation | Embryonic Stem Cell Research Is Beneficial
The National Institutes of Health (NIH), a branch of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is a biomedical research center that seeks to discover new, effective medical treatments.
Summary: Embryonic stem (ES) cell research is vital to the advancement of medicine. ES cells are pluripotent—they can give rise to many human cells—and have many potential medical applications. For instance, isolating pluripotent cells can offer deeper insight into cell processes, cancer, and birth defects. Additionally, pluripotent stem cells have the...
