5.  From the lab we did with the agar cubes, explain the importance of SA:V.  What happens to this

7.  What is the difference between embryonic stem cells and tissue stem cells?  How are tissue stem
     cells used to treat diseases like leukemia?  Why is there controversy when using embryonic stem
     cells?  Do you think scientists should be doing research using embryonic stem cells?  Why or why      not?  Justify your opinion.
