Chapter 17, Problem 7TYU
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Stem cells are specialized cells that can be transformed into any type of cell in the body. They are of various types depending on the type of cell. Pluripotent cells are formed by four genes that are used to reprogram differentiated cells. The pluripotent stem cells are the type of stem cells that can be directly generated from adult cells.

There is widespread consensus that cloning a live human would be unethical. However, some people have suggested creating cloned embryos from which stem or pluripotent cells, which have the ability to develop into any tissue or organ, could be extracted. The stem and pluripotent cells might then be used to create genetically identical tissues and organs that could then be transplanted back into the donor to treat failed organs and diseases.
