What are stem cells? How can they be used for medical benefit?

What are stem cells? - An short educational film by the Irish Stem Cell Foundation

Stem cells are master cells of the body — want to learn more? Visit www.irishstemcellfoundation.org

ISCF is an independent not-for-profit organisation whose primary objective is to educate about stem cells, their basic biology and the research and therapies using them.

The Foundation will initially focus on education outreach programs, hoping to address the growing problem of bogus stem cell scams being offered to Irish patients over the internet. The Foundation will also assist the development of Irish policy and legislature in this area of medicine and science, ensuring Ireland is informed.

The Foundation consists of a broad range of people including Irish doctors, scientists, patient advocates, educators, bioethicists and other associated parties seeking to expand and develop the Irish public's understanding of stem cells.

@lelenina2 Totipotent stem cells are only present in the first few cell divisions from a person but you can culture them and divide them in a lab, This isn'ta great reply as I'm not an expert, but by the sound of it, it doesn't work how you think it does, I'd ask on yahoo or read on an unbiased site that doesn't do stem cell research, hope that sort of helps.. :P

[lelenina2]

You should be able to get a sufficient amount of embryonic stem cells by aborting just one person, right? I mean a person is made up of billions of cells...Or am I just being an idiot right now?
