Stem Cells

Stem Cells are progenitor cells, capable of changing into many different cell types that reside in various parts of the body, and what ever cell the body needs and these are called "pluripotent" stem cells.

Embryonic stem cells are derived from a blastocyst, which is the ball of about 150 undifferentiated cells from which an embryo develops.in addition to their total developmental plasticity, embryonic stem cells can produce more of themselves without limits.

GMOs

Genetically modified organism- Genes from one organism are moved into the genome of another organism.Derived foods on health,and the effect on the environment. And it debates on how many different groups who claim that an ecological disaster might be waiting to emerge from GMOs plant technology due to cross pollination.

Transgenic animals are often used in material context, where the benefits are obvious and generally appreciated. An Genetically modified virus is used to carry into the cell gene that the baby lacks.
