There are advanced improvements in medical knowledge and technology. Identification and isolating of the stem cells is one of the new findings in medical sciences. The stem cells have high potential in duplication and differentiation into specialized cells; they have high capability in tissue repairing. For that reason, they have been mattered by researchers. As the science and technology improves, ethical viewpoints surround it more. Discussion and contention on ethical problems of stem cells continues from argument about type of stem cells to their basic and clinical utilization.
