WHAT IS STEM CELL?
An undifferentiated cell of a multicellular organism which is capable of giving rise to indefinitely more cells of the same type, and from which certain other kinds of cell arise by differentiation.

STEM CELL DIVISION AND DIFFERENTIATION.
• A: stem cell;• B: progenitor cell;• C: differentiated cell; • 1: symmetric stem cell division;• 2: asymmetric stem cell division;• 3: progenitor division;• 4: terminal differentiation

WHAT CAN BE CURE?
ADVANTAGES
Medical benefits in the fields of therapeutic cloning and regenerative medicine.
Cures to a plethora of diseases including Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, cancer, spinal cord injuries, and diabetes.
Limbs and organs could be grown in a lab from stem cells.Easy to learn about human growth and cell development.These are linked with major clinical consequences such as birth
defects, pregnancy-loss, and infertility. It has already found many treatments that help in slowing the aging
process, and a bonus of further research is a possible 'cure' for aging, altogether.
Embryonic stem cells can develop into any cell types of the body.
DISADVANTAGES
The use of embryonic stem cells involves the destruction of blastocysts formed from laboratory-fertilized human eggs. For those people who believe that life begins at conception, the blastocyst is a human life and to destroy it is immoral and unacceptable.
Like any other new technology, it is also completely unknown what the long-term effects of such an interference with nature could materialize.
Embryonic stem cells may not be the solution for all ailments.According to a new research, it was used on heart disease patients. It was found that it can make their coronary arteries narrower.
A disadvantage is that they are pre-specialized;
for instance, blood stem cells make only blood, and
brain stem cells make only brain cells.These are derived from embryos that are not a patient's own and the patient's
body may reject them.

Be sure when it comes to choosing the best for your new born.
