This site, gives a lot of information on the details and introduces what stem cells are and why they're important. They can develop into practically any cell and are incredibly useful in help aid and cure many diseases and health issues

Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth. In addition, in many tissues they serve as a sort of internal repair system, dividing essentially without limit to replenish other cells as long as the person or animal is still alive. When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential either to remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized function, such as a muscle cell, a red blood cell, or a brain cell

This article discusses the ethics of stem cell research and the effectiveness of "Induced pluripotent stem cells"-reprogramming of adult human cells-vs. the use of embryonic stem cells. The article also discusses the ethics of destroying human embryos. 

As my personal freedom I choose freedom of speech and I freely want to speak about health ideas and how stems cells and how stem cells can basically generate new cells that heal pretty much any deadly disease, no matter I will be definig th efollowing questions: What are stem cells, and why are they important? What are the unique properties of all stem cells? What are embryonic stem cells? What are adult stem cells? What are the similarities and differences between embryonic and adult stem cells? What are induced pluripotent stem cells?

This site gives a good overview of cell phone use by Canadian drivers. 66% of Canadian drivers believe that using a cell phone while driving is a very serious safety issue. In Canada, Alberta has the highest rate of cell phone use, while Nova Scotia has the lowest, according to statistics published in 2008.

In the face of extraordinary advances in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of human diseases, devastating illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and diseases of the nervous system, such as Parkinson's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease, continue to deprive people of health, independence, and well-being. Research in human developmental biology has led to the discovery of human stem cells (precursor cells that can give rise to multiple tissue types), including embryonic stem (ES) cells, embryonic germ (EG) cells, and adult stem cells. Recently, techniques have been developed for the in vitro culture of stem cells, providing unprecedented opportunities for studying and understanding human embryology

The article on this site seems to suggest that cell phone use while driving does not substantially impair drivers. It advises against legislation to ban cell phones while driving. The article states that there simply isn't enough data yet to prove that cell phone use causes accidents.

Stem cell research is a touchy subject with a lot of people, mostly because it's about ethics. A lot of where stem cells come from is embryos, but there are a lot of other places they come from - such as Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells which are derived from an adult somatic cell.

Embryonic stem cell research is the most controversial stem cell research since it involves destroying a human embryo. Embryonic stem cells are more beneficial than adult stem cells because they grow quicker and target a wider category of diseases. Creating and then destroying embryos is an non ethical treatment of the value of life.

This site shows that the majority of Americans support a ban on cell phone use while driving, even when the driver is using a hands-free cell phone. According to a poll released in 2010, proponents for such a law outnumber opponents by a margin of 63-34.

AP and PEW discuss how Americans feel about using their cell phones during various events, including driving to school, work, etc. The article goes deep into the personal feelings of each person on cell phone use.

This article follows all the changes to cell phone laws in the last 4 years. It was interesting to find that only school bus drivers were restrained from using cell phones while driving until very recently.

We have all seen people using their cell phones while driving, whether it be talking on them or texting. Several states have passed laws to ban using cell phones while driving knowing those who do so are at a higher risk for causing or being in an accident. Even though it may seem more safe to use your blu-tooth while driving, but numerous studies have suggested that drivers who use their cell phones in any way while driving, still poses a danger to themselves and other people on the road.

This site briefly talks about the benefits of stem cell use and research. Than puts up a short legal argument in favor of stem cells.

Studies have shown in 2006 that marijuana oils actually reduce malignant cancer cells. This artilce talks about a experiment proving marijuana reverses the cancer cells in leukemia patients with no side effects.

Alot of people have an issue with people using cell phones while driving, so much so that is has been made a law in 9 states banning it. And I agree. But there are also others that say using something that is your own property is not anyone elses concern.

Uses for stem cell research, guidelines set by the government, learn about ethical issues on the subject, and what stem cell research promises.

Decent amount of info on the Pros and Cons of Stem Cell based research. 

What to think about stem cell resarch is it benifical.

Government agencies have worked their way into the privacy of our cell phones. different agencies have the right to obtain our phone records without notice to the user. Although some of us do not agree with the government obtaining our records, it is very beneficiary to many people. 

This is pretty crazy. It's now against the law to unlock the cell phone you just spent hundreds of dollars for.

This article discusses the ethics behind banking the blood from a baby's umbilical cord and using the stem cells to treat sick people. It informs us that the blood from one cord is only enough to treat one patient and that, as the demand for cord blood increases, the ethics behind the storage and usage of cord blood may become compromised.
