Stem cells:
Bionet aims to encourage the public and school-students to explore and debate the latest discoveries in life sciences. It has been created by eight European science museums and centres, and the site is available in nine European languages. The Stem Cells section is one of six life science issues explored, and examines the ethical implications of research into stem cells and its implications. Like the other issues there is an introductory section, information on the scientific techniques involved, a comparison of legislation in different European countries, a Rights & wrongs section, and a list of references and websites. From the introductory page there is an section explaining what stems cells are and their potential uses, and sections looking at different sources of stem cells covering embryos, adult cells and human cloning, and their associated risks and ethical implications.
A paper which examined the ethical issues regarding the acceptability of patents involving stem cells, particularly human stem cells that require the destruction of embryos for their production. Professor Peter A. Whittaker of the Centre for Economic and Social Aspects of Genomics, the Institute for Environment, Philosophy and Public Policy at Lancaster University is the author. The acceptability of stem cell patents has arisen because stem cell research may revolutionise medical therapies for many diseases despite a lack of evidence that they actually work. This has created a major commercial potential, providing and impetus for patents to protect the interests of companies. The paper provides background information on stem cells, the various types of patents that have been sought, a definition of what a patent is, and a brief discussion on the European Biotechnology Directive of 1998 and its relation to the patenting of human stem cells.

stemcells are present in the bone marrow. they produce red blood corpusles and white blood corpusels. About 12 million rbc are produced in the bone marrow everyday

the totipotent cells tat r produced in ths bone marrow of humans
are the stem cells they r those cells which differentiate into diff types of cells in blood they r presently used in different therapies to cure diseases like cancer and other diseases whose alternate cure is not known

stem cells are self generating pleuripotent cells.they can give rise to other cells of the body.hematopioetic stem cells give rise to blood cells.

stem cells are those mass of undifferentiated cells which have the capability of getting modified into another type of cells.
