    This document provides an introduction to stem cell research by listing several websites that explain different aspects of stem cells. It aims to help readers understand what stem cells are, where they come from, potential medical uses, and ethical considerations so they can make informed decisions. Specifically, it outlines that stem cells have two main qualities - they can renew themselves and differentiate; there are embryonic and adult stem cells which are obtained and used differently; stem cells may help treat neurological disorders, burns, diabetes, and immune system issues; and both benefits and risks exist for embryonic and adult stem cell research.

    Stem Cell Web Quest

    Stem Cell information has been in the news frequently in the past several
    years. These web sites should help you understand what stem cells are, how
    they are obtained and how they may be used to help patients. With this
    information you will be better able to understand the media information,
    hopefully learn where to go to sort out misinformation and allow you to be
    better informed in your own decisions on ethical questions.
