The purpose of this IQP is to show the current state and issues of stem cell research, and its impact on society. Its purpose is to persuade its readers to have a more open mind towards stem cell research, and to at least support some types of stem cell research that do not involve destruction of an embryo. It will explore the types and sources of stem cells, the uses of stem cells, and the ethics and laws pertaining to stem cell research.
