Stem cells have potential, but that doesn't mean using them is right.

But, they are worth talking about.

To: law of conservation
determining precisely how stem cells remain unspecialized and self renewing for many years

Pioneering work, and still virtually all known about stem cels, has been done in bone marrow cells. These are cells in adults that last throughout the entire life of a mammal and give rise to all the cells of the blood.

Interestingly, given the life long self-renewing properties of stem cells, embryonic stemm cells actually can't be considered stem cells by this criteria as they are very short lived, being present only in the early developmental stages of the organism.
