The outcome of any serious research can only be to make two questions grow where only one grew before.
- Thorstein  Veblen

Stem cell research is without a doubt one of the most fascinating, but also controversial areas of modern biology. In accordance with the above quote by Thorstein Veblen, stem cell research raises not only scientific, but also ethical questions faster than it generates new discoveries.

Most of the controversy surrounding stem cells is focussed on the use of human embryonic stem cells, because the harvesting of embryonic stem cells requires the destruction of a human embryo. Embryonic stem cells are retrieved from embryos approximately four to five days old. These cells can divide further into more stem cells. Alternatively, they can specialize and become a particular type of body cell. These attributes give embryonic stem cells the highest potential for medical benefit.

Stem cells in general, may they be embryonic, adult, or amniotic fluid stem cells, are different from all other cells in the body. They can function in the body as an “internal repair kit” by using their dividing capability and replenish damaged or diseased cells. Researchers are working to figure out how to harness the power of stem cells to find cures for a wide variety of diseases.

These medical researchers believe that stem cell therapy carries the potential of dramatically changing the treatment of human disease. A number of adult stem cell therapies already exist, particularly bone marrow transplants that are used to treat leukemia. In the future, medical researchers anticipate being able to use technologies derived from stem cell research to treat a wider variety of diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, spinal cord injuries, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, and muscle damage.

The question is, how can a potential patient find more information on available resources such as hospitals offering stem cell based treatments? How can they contact the proper specialists and inquire treatment options?

On Stem Cells is a web resource center for information on new developments and available treatments in the field of stem cell therapy. It is operated by top professionals in patient information services. On Stem Cells provides information about hospitals and companies in the medical industry that are in the business of developing new stem cell therapies. They present information on where around the world potential patients will be able to receive stem cells treatment. In addition, On Stem Cells collects patient stories and provides up-to-date stem cell related news. As part of their service, they offer patients an easy method of contacting medical teams for information about treatment options.

Their web resource center lists a number of stem cell treatment options for diseases such as Batten Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, Diabetes, and Heart Disease, just to name a few.

On Stem Cells encourages not only current patients to share their personal stem cell treatment experience; they also invite hospitals or companies in the medical industry to be listed in their worldwide resource center by filling the information on the Contact On Stem Cells web page.
