      Hi Guyvorw, good to chat to you earlier!

      My personal beliefs on stem cells are that they are a good thing. I think that anything that has the potential to help people from suffering illnesses like cancer or diabetes or parkinsons disease should be researched thoroughly to try and help as many people.
      All the work I do is very ethical and I am sure that stem cells are a great thing if used correctly.

      I think stem cells are an amazing technology but I’m worried that they have been so hyped up by the media that people expect more of them than they will deliver. I do think they have the potential to make amazing therapies though and also to allow us to test drugs to come up with more effective treatments that way.
