Research on Stem Cell Transplants May Go Forward

President Bush and and some Evangelical Christian groups may object to stem cell research on moral grounds, but the objection extends only to stem cells that were obtained as the result of an abortion. Even though the source of stem cells has been restricted in the US for research purposes. Stem cells are cells that have the potential to develop into different types of cells throughout the body. When a stem cell divides the new cell can either remain a stem cell or become a different type needed elsewhere in the body of an animal. Aborted fetuses are one of the richest sources of stem cells, but by no means the only one available. Stem cells exist in the body through an animal's life.
