Introduction:

The idea of natural selection is a key component of Darwin's theory of evolution. Natural selection is a process in which the environment itself chooses particular physical characteristics, or phenotypes, which are then passed on to offspring in order to improve their ability to adapt to changing conditions. Oncology may be approached using the same idea. Resistance to conventional cancer treatments is brought on by malignancies in various microhabitats.

What rights does a cell donor have to stem cell lines or technologies created from cells they have donated? Should tissue donors share in the commercial potential and monetary awards of stem cell line created from their cells?
How can we isolate stem cells and how can we use these cells in the clinic?
What is the hope that induced pluripotent stem cells provide? Choose as many as apply. Patients would not have to wait for an organ/tissue donation. The use of these cells would lower the chance of rejection of the organ/tissue. A doctor could produce an organ or tissue from a patient's own stem cells.
