| Description | A study that found adult blood stem cells were unable to transform themselves into other types of tissue raises new doubts about whether they could be used to reinvigorate ailing organs.

Many people, including President Bush, oppose using human embryonic stem cells in medical research because it involves the death of an embryo. |
