Bush needs a new brain.
Congress defies Bush on stem cell research
The Democratic-led U.S. Congress defied President George W. Bush on Thursday and gave final approval to legislation to roll back his restrictions on federally funded embryonic stem cell research.

Following are some facts about stem cells.

* Stem cells are the body's master cells, the source of all cells and tissue, like brain, blood, heart, bones, muscles and skin.

* Embryonic stem cells come from days-old embryos and can produce virtually any other type of cell in the body.



* Adult stem cells are harbored in blood and mature tissue in the bodies of children and adults. They are more specialized than embryonic cells and give rise to specific cell types, although they may be coaxed into a broader range of cell types under the right conditions.
