	Cloning Issues in Reproduction, Science and Medicine
	Human Embryonic Stem Cells
	Go to "How Therapeutic Cloning Works"

After gathering information from these sites, you need to hand up to your teacher a 200 word explanation of what how a human embryo can be altered to create neurons for the treatment of Parkinson's Disease. Remember, this is only a summary of information and not a full research paper.
