The stem cell controversy is the ethical debate centered only on research involving the creation, usage and destruction of human embryos; namely, embryonic stem cells. Not all stem cell research involves the creating, using and destroying of human embryos. Adult stem cells or induced pluripotent stem cells, which do not involve creating, using or destroying human embryos is not controversial. Adult stem cells have been shown to be safe; since they are derived from the patients’ own tissues and they have a controlled growth in the body. Adult adipose derived stem cells are the type of stem cell therapy offered at the Canine Health Institute.
