Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research Thesis

However, unlike embryonic stem cell, adult stem cell cannot be as easily controlled.

Conclusion

Because of its complicated theory and controversy, many people do not know much about stem cell research. Some people do not even know that there are two different types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. While many people are still in favor of embryonic stem cell research, the alternative -- adult stem cells -- could be a viable technology of research was conducted on it more extensively. there are no ethical or religious objections to adult stem cell research, as it neither creates nor destroys life. This makes adult stem cell research the easier choice for society to make.
