Abstract: The innovation of Stem Cell research has made a huge contribution to medical therapies. As research continues, more people are benefitting from the newfound discoveries. By providing new avenues for understanding and treating more complex health issues such as Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, or spinal cord injuries, stem cell research has allowed for more accurate disease models and individualized treatment approaches. The ethical and technical challenges associated with this research continue to evolve arousing public discourse. Overall, stem cell research represents a pivotal point in medicine offering hope for more novel treatments.
