Topic Selection:
a) Stem cells. Your friend has suffered a spinal cord injury after a bad car accident. The medical
team has decided that he is a good candidate for a clinical trial using stem cell therapy. Your
friend has not had a biology course since high school, so you decide to write him a letter sharing
your knowledge of stem cells. Include in your letter a description of the biology of stem cells and
how these cells are unique from other cells. Contrast the different types of stem cells, including
pros and cons for each type. Explain how stems cells can be used to treat diseases and injury,
with special focus on spinal cord injuries. Include information from at least one research study or
clinical trial. Conclude with your own opinion. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
