so yall knoe who is the one and only Miss Independent aka Mrs Reggie Bush aka Miss Boss (compliments to neyo). cuz im tat nice ima give u a study guide for your stem cell research tests .
Stem Cell Research Part 1: Outline
1. What is a stem cell?(A) A "generic" cell that can make exact copies of itself indefinitely.
2. What are they used for?(A) They have the ability to produce specialized cells for various tissues in the body: heart muscle, brain tissue, and liver tissue.
(B) Scientists are able to keep stem cells forever developing them into specialized cells as needed.
3. Why bother with stem cell research?(A) There are a variety of diseases and injuries in which a patient's cells or tissues are destroyed and must be replaced by tissue or organ transplants.
(B) Stem cells may be able to generate brand new tissue in these cases, and potentially cure diseases for which there is no cure.
(C) Diseases that it could possibly cure include; Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, diabetes, spinal cord injury, heart disease, stroke, arthritis, cancers, and burns.
4. Why are stem cells so important?(A) Stem cells could be used to gain a better understanding of how genetics work in the early stages of cell development, therefore preventing certain diseases and birth defects.
(B) Stem cells can help scientists understand why some cells develop abnormally and lead to medical problems, which include; birth defects and cancers.
(C) By understanding the genetic basis for cell development, scientists may learn how to prevent some of these diseases.
(D) They can also (possibly) clone or replicate animals, fruits, and vegetables for people in 3rd world countries
5. Controversy with stem cell research(A) The controversy is based on the belief by some people that a fertilized egg is fundamentally a human being with rights and interests that need to be protected.
(B) People who oppose stem cell research do not want fetuses and fertilized eggs used for research purposes.
6. A possible solution(A) A team of scientists have developed a technique that was successful in generating mouse stem cells without destroying the mouse embryo.
(B) The technique has not yet been attempted on human embryonic tissue.
(C) Many other scientists are attempting to create more universally accepted forms of human embryonic stem cells, as well as other types of adult stem cells.

this is only the 1st part. ill post more 4 yall next week on wednesday.
