  2. What are Stem Cells? • Stem Cells are the embryo cells from the blastula. • A blastula is a group of unspecialized cells that come from a non-formed baby. • The blastula has about 200 to 250 unspecialized cells. • When the cells divide, they can become another specialized cell or they can stay a stem cell. • The embryonic cell can transform into any type of tissue found in the body. • Stem cells can divide without having done anything in a while.

  3. What stem cells can do • Stem cells can repair pretty much any tissue. • The cells are like an internal robot repairing your damaged tissues. • The cells can only be good when the person or unborn baby (not out of womb yet) is alive. • Stem cells can help cure diabetes. • They can also help cure heart disease. • Stem cells can also help you walk. • The stem cells can make enough red and white blood cells to reduce illness.

  4. Where stem cells are found • Some stem cells are found in the gut or bone marrow. • Stem cells are necessary if the bone marrow isn't working. • These cells are used to replace and repair bad tissues. • Some of these stem cells are found from unborn babies. • Some of these stem cells are taken from the umbilical cord and these are considered adult cells. • These adult stem cells are harder to become any cell.

  5. Advantages and disadvantages of embryonic stem cells advantages disadvantages

  6. Advantages and disadvantages of adult stem cells advantages disadvantages

  7. Cloning This is a diagram of the cloning of stem cells

  8. How stem cells are put in your body • Stem cells are grown in the lab. • Once the cells are fully grown in the lab, they are ready for you. • The doctor injects them into the area that need the stem cells.

  9. What people think about stem cells • Some people think that some ways of getting stem cells are murder. • The people think that when the people get pregnant to kill the baby for stem cell it is murder. • Then again some people don’t think that way. • The people don’t consider all the methods to get stem cells is murder. • They only consider the creation of life and then killing it as murder.
