Stem cells have several different applications in basic research, drug discovery, and cell therapy. In basic research applications stem cells improve the ability to screen for side effects in many different drugs. Because of the use of stem cells at the beginning of the screenings of drugs there will be a lesser over head cost as well as the ability to scrap drugs that are extremely harmful or fatal. Because under current government standards animals are used to take the drugs and because of this the outcomes are different slightly because humans are made up of different cells and organelles the side effects on animals may not have none at all opposed to people. Because stem cells can regenerate and create new tissues the ability to create different organs to use to test on such as the heart or liver because of the harmful effects it had on individuals when they are administered powerful drugs. This would take medical science and drug researchers to a safer drug administered program for humans. This would mean that if the cells had high toxicity of drugs then they would not be available for clinical trials and the patients who are receiving them would go through fewer side effects. This would mean a cure possibly for tumors in embryonic stem cell research. Companies would be able to manufacture drugs that would be made for each independent trial instead of groups and finding out that fatal side effects occurred because of the risks to the patients.
