It is nearly impossible to be an American and to not know a little about the Stem Cell Research controversy, we may even have a few opinions of our own. However, there are still many people out there that are missing the very basic and important information about stem cells along with the facts and misconceptions about stem cell research.

If successful this website will supply anyone with interest in the Stem Cell controversy the basic information on what stem cells are, where they come from, and the possible benefits they could have for millions of people. In addition, it will also address the facts and misconceptions held about stem cell research and where the stem cells used in research would come from. This website WILL NOT discuss the ethical and political issues connected to stem cell research.

In essence, it will attempt to answer the key questions that should be asked and often are not by each and every individual prior to making any decisions about whether or not they support for stem cell research.

NOTE:
Even though this website was created with the intention of being "layman" friendly, there may be terms that you encounter that you are not entirely familiar with. It is for that reason that a glossary has been constructed to assist you in achieving a complete and comprehensive understanding of stem cells.
