When embryonic stem cells were first isolated in November of 1998 they were known as blank cells. This means that they can be manipulated into any of the 220 human cells, and tissues that we as humans are comprised of. These cells have brought up the idea of gene therapy. This could lead to cures for paralysis, diabetes, and AIDS.

With the use of embryonic stem cells, scientists believe that nerve cells, heart muscle cells, and brain cells can be created in a culture. In turn, using the nerve cells to help heal people with spinal injuries and restore function to paralyzed limbs. The heart muscle cells would be used to renew the scar tissue around the heart after a heart attack. The brain cells would be used to secre
