Stem Cell Embryology

           
Embryonic stem cells (ES cells or ESCs) are pluripotent stem cells formed from the inner cell mass of a blastocyst, a pre-implantation embryo in the early stages of development. 4–5 days after conception, human embryos reach the blastocyst stage, which consists of 50–150 cells. Isolating the embryoblast, or inner cell mass (ICM), causes the blastocyst to be destroyed, raising ethical concerns about whether embryos in the pre-implantation stage of development have the same moral considerations as embryos in the post-implantation stage.
