      Hi ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)!

      I only really know stuff about them from the news! They seem to be an exciting area though – especially since they offer potential options for people suffering from diabetes/parkinsons etc.

      In terms of the ethics, it seems like a bit of a minefield -although apparently there is some research that eliminates the need to human embryos.
