What are stem cells?
Embryonic stem cells can become almost any cell type in the body, they are pluripotent. Can only be found in the embryo stage of development
What are Adult stem cells?
Only found in certain places in the body within differentiated tissues like bone marrow. They can not become a limited range of cell types , they are multipotent
What are benefits of using embryonic stem cells?
Easy to remove from the embryo, pluripotent and could treat a vast number of diseases, could be cloned from patients own cells in order to avoid rejection
What are drawbacks to using embryonic stem cells?
Ethical issues with destroying embryos, some people believe it is murder. Could also lead to illegal cloning of humans
What are risks of using embryonic stem cells?
Risk of rejection if the stem cells are from another person
What are benefits of using adult stem cells?
No ethical issues, if taken from the person who is being treated then there won’t be any rejection
What are drawbacks of using adult stem cells?
Multipotent and only treat a limited range of diseases, difficult to identify and remove from tissues in the body
What are risks of using adult stem cells?
May be rejected if used from a different person
What two organs make up the central nervous system?
The brain and spinal cord
