Slide 4

Cons to Stem Cell Research

Slide 5

Cons Could be side effects to cells Destruction of embryos Chance of rejection

Slide 6

Pros to Stem Cell Research

Slide 7

Pros Advancement in Medical Technology Can prevent testing on humans and animals Alzheimer's, Schizophrenia, Crone's POA Can create embryonic stem cells using skin cells of the patient UCLAs Kathrin Plath In nothing do men more nearly approach the gods than in giving health to men (Cicero).

So Where are We? Stem Cell Progress

Slide 9

Important Moments 1981: Embryonic stem cells are first isolated in mice. Feb. 12, 2004: South Korean scientists announce the world's first successfully cloned human embryo.
