Induced pluripotent stem cells, commonly abbreviated as iPS cells are a type of pluripotent stem cell artificially derived from a non-pluripotent cell, typically an adult somatic cell, by inducing a "forced" expression of certain genes.
And we need to harvest embryonic stem cells, why?
Cells from people with premature aging disease get "younger" with the help of stem cell technology.

Stem cells are the life givers of human body. There utilization in the right way will lead to many new discoveries in medical sciences. Hope this must bring some cheer to the people suffering from deadly diseases. The world community should push in for more funds for stem cell research. This would help a great deal in reasearch work and finding cures of many diseases around the globe.
Not "The world community should push in for more funds for stem cell research" but "There should be a charity raising more funds for stem cell research."
