Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis
Doctors can test the embryo if they got certain genetic disorder. Doctors only choose health embryo to implant into mother’s womb. Discard other embryos with genetic disease

Embryonic stem cell:
Unspecialized Doctors can turn the stem cell into any kind of cell they want. After removing the stem cell from the embryo

Adult stem cell:
Specialized They can repair their selves if they get damaged Stem cells can be used to treat illnesses e.g. sickle cell anomia can be treated by bone marrow transplant. Replace old faulty genes
