Preferred term

stem cell research  

Definition(s)

  • Stem cells are found in plants and animals, but most moral issues involve human stem cells. Such cells have two significant properties: (1) they can divide to form other types of cells and (2) they can divide indefinitely—that is, they are potentially “immortal.” There are three major types of stem cells. [Source: Encyclopedia of Business Ethics and Society; Stem Cell Research]
