This is one of the major dilemmas surrounding stem cell research. Stem cells are cells found in an early stage of embryonic development. Embryonic stem cells have the potential of developing into one of 130 different types of human tissue, which are eventually found in a fully formed fetus. Such tissues include blood cells, heart cells and brain cells. In a developing fetus, numerous stem cells are found that can produce all the different tissues of an adult body.
