Sacred Cells?: Why Christians Should Support Stem Cell Research
Sacred Cells? tells the little-known story of Christian theologians who have been actively involved with leading scientists in the lab to determine the ethical implications of stem cell research. And contrary to popular expectation, these Christians have been courageously advocating in favor of research. Three of these dynamic theologians tell their story in this book, providing a brief history of stem cell science and outlining why people of faith can and should support research.

Question by harry: What are stem cells and how can they be used?
Can someone please explain to me what they are using simple terms? Everything I read on the internet is so complicated. Where can we get stem cells?
Best answer:
Answer by vleighqnz
They are the special forces of cells. They are undefined tissue cells that are waiting for direction on where and what to grow into. They can be any cell in the body where and when needed.
Stem cells come mostly from the inside of your nose or your marrow. And they freeze the umbilical cord so if the baby gets sick they have his stem cells. There is no research on embryos it is illegal. Don’t listen to Conservative idiots who have no clue what research can do for humanity. Individual nerve cells can grow very long and that is why it is hard to regenerate them. Adult cells can grow into any cell in the body. ANY. It is the growing of limbs and systems that is holding up research NOT the ability to grow a certain type of tissue.

From www.athenweb.org : Scientists of today are breathing life into one of the myths of the past, human regeneration. At the root of this potential for regeneration are cells, known as stem cells. Stem Cells To understand what a stem cell is, and as to why we apply a certain definition to say that a given cell is a stem cell, we need to understand what the function of a stem cell is. A stem cell is above all a cell. And one of the major functions of every cell is to divide and give rise to two twin daughter cells, which will each in turn give rise to two daughter cells. As soon as the egg is formed by the fusion of an ovule and a sperm, it rushes to divide again and again… until the embryo resembles a little blackberry composed of eight stem cells which are highly potent : each of them could in theory give rise to a full embryo, a foetus and finally a baby. Then around the fourth day, the dividing stem cells begin to specialise. They give rise to two types of cell : in the centre, a small internal mass will eventually become the future foetus, and at the periphery, the cells that will go on to form the placenta… The cells of the internal mass are called embryonic stem cells. If we take cells from the internal mass, we find that every one of them has the potential, on dividing, either to form cells identical to themselves which can be grown to large quantities in culture, or alternatively, to form muscle, cartilage, neurons, blood and other tissues. As the embryo …
