The intention of this IQP is to provide awareness of the subject of stem cells, to help educate the public on the ethical and legal issues of this technology, and to increase exposure to the technological advancements of this field. To achieve this goal, stem cell types and sources were researched, along with present and future applications of stem cells in regenerative medicine. Religious and political controversies were also analyzed, and some shared misconceptions. We then draw conclusions concerning our shared ethical, legal, and moral beliefs surrounding stem cell research.
