You have just been told by your family doctor that you have an incurable form
of cancer. Shocked, you ask her if there is anything that can be done. She
mentions a new type of experimental treatment that has worked for several of
her patients. However, she adds that it's a very controversial treatment.
Desperate, you ask her what the treatment is. She replies, "embryonic stem
cells." You had heard this mentioned in the news before, but never paid much
attention to it. You decide that you must know everything there is to know
about embryonic stem cells...your life depends on it!
