The human genome project was to make a genetic map of all the Dna in a human. Now that we know where each gene is we can find harmful genes and replace them with working genes.
Gene therapy- The transplantation of normal genes into cells in place of missing or defective ones in order to correct genetic disorders.
Stem Cell- an undifferentiated cell of a multicellular organism that is capable of giving rise to indefinitely more cells of the same type.
Human genome project- The sequence of chemical base pairs which make up human DNA and of identifying and mapping all of the genes of the human genome from both a physical and functional standpoint.

Ethical Debate of using Stem Cells:
The ethical debate of using stem cells is that they come from human embryos. An embryo is a fertilized egg so some people think using them is killing a baby.
