1. Scientists think that someday, embryonic stem cells will become the basis for what's called regenerative medicine. The idea behind regenerative medicine is to take these "universal" cells and persuade them to turn into the specific cell type needed to cure a disease or repair injured tissue. In other words, to supply healthy cells that can be used to replace defective or damaged ones. Consider diabetes. In one form of the disease, cells that produce insulin are destroyed. If they could be replaced with embryonic stem cells that have been "told" to become insulin-producing cells, diabetes might in theory be cured.
