- Stem cell dilemmas
- Problems with Embryonic stem cells
- The embryo could have been potential life. It can't give permission to be used.
- Religious beliefs - People say that it's God job and can't accept the interference with the process of human reproduction.
- ADVANTAGE - Grow and divide rapidly, so nearly extinct plants can be cloned.
- The body of a mother doesn't reject the embryonic stem cell from an embryo.
- Can be expensive
- Problems with Adult stem cells
- Might be infected with a virus and could transfer infections to patients.
- If stem cells from an adult are used to treat someone who isn't related, it can trigger an immune response.

- Therapeutic cloning - The production of embryonic stem cells for use in replacing or repairing damaged tissues or organs, achieved by transferring a diploid nucleus from a body cell into an egg whose nucleus has been removed.
