3 WHAT IS A STEM CELL A human body's master cell STEM CELLS have two defining properties: 1)the ability to differentiate into other cells. 2) the ability to self- regenerate

4 TYPES OF STEM CELLS Adult stem cells or tissue- specific stem cells. Fetal Stem cells. Cord Blood stem Cells. Embryonic Stem Cells. Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPS cells)

5 HOW THEY WORK 1.They can be manipulated 2.Manipulation involves changing the media 3.Process is done in labs by Bio- chemists 4. Regenerate and repair tissues and organs. 5.Grown to become organs for use in transplants

6 TREATMENTS AND USES Blood and bone cancers Heart damage Brain damage Anatomical organs Including skin Parkinson's disease & other conditions

7 BENEFITS OUTWEIGH THE CONTROVERSY TURN THE TABLES SUPPORTERS PROS CONS THE BALL IS IN YOUR COURT
