| Summary, etc. |
A comprehensive discussion of the different types of stem cells, how they are studied in the laboratory, and how they are used to treat disease or heal bodily organs. The author covered many ethical and legal issues that are associated with stem cell therapy as a means to treat many serious ailments, including cardiovascular disease, spinal cord disorders, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, cancer and leukemia. Also discussed are questions surrounding the gathering of stem cells from embryos, umbilical cords, and adult tissues for research and therapy. This provides comprehensive access to a contentious and exciting area of research, one that sparks debate at all levels of society and fosters hope that someday organs such as the brain and heart mey be able to repair themselves. |
