Will the U.S.A be playing a leading role now in Embryonic stem cell heart research.

Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body. Serving as a sort of repair system for the body, they can theoretically divide without limit to replenish other cells as long as the person or animal is still alive. When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential to either remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized function, such as a muscle cell, a red blood cell, or a brain cell.

Embryonic Stem Cell Science Requires Human Eggs …and you don’t just pick them up at the store. In the race to clone human embryos to destroy them for their embryonic stem cells, demand has risen for unfertilized eggs.Women’s eggs are necessary to create the embryo, even a cloned embryo, from which the embryonic stem cells are extracted. Special adult-type stem cells from bone marrow and from umbilical cord have been isolated recently which appear to be as flexible as the embryonic type. There are significant medical and scientific differences between embryonic and adult stem cell research and therapy.
