Can stem cells be killer cells?
If there is a faulty gene in a stem cell, and that gene gets replicated as we let the cells multiply, and we then administer the stem cells into a human body. What will happen?
If we create a mutation gene that can kill a particular bacteria or virus, and we insert that gene in a stem cell. What do you think will happen if we now take the stem cell with a mutation and insert it in a cancer cell? Will our stem cell be of any good?
If we have a patient with a difficult-to-cure disease and we decide to administer a stem cell with a good gene that can help the patient combat the disease and continue to live normally, will stem cells be appropriate or inappropriate?
