Stem Cell Facts

Hello. I was researching information about stem cell research and I realized that some may not quite understand why there is even a debate about embryonic stem cell research, especially since human adults have stem cells which would be more acceptable to use in experiments/research. So I found a website that provides a lot of information if anyone wants to distinguish the difference between the two areas of research. The website explains what stem cells are and how embryonic stem cells differ from adult stem cells. If anyone is interested in finding out the difference or may not even understand why stem cells are so important to some people for medical research, please visit this website that I found which provides factual information and does not display opinions. Since I am working on this issue for a public opinion class I will be posting more on public opinion regarding this topic but for now I thought it might be important for readers to understand the facts surrounding this issue. The website is from the National Institute of Health and may be helpful:
