Stem Cell Universe with Stephen Hawking

Imagine a future where all it takes to cure a disease or heal an injury is a single injection. Or where ordering a replacement body part like a heart or a liver is just as easy as it is today for a mechanic to change your alternator or break pads. This is the future promised by stem cells. In fact, this revolution in medicine has already begun. Follow pioneering doctors, scientists, and innovators around the world as they explore bold new techniques, introduce us to patients whose lives are now being transformed by stem cell therapy, and explore the ethical and philosophical issues that come with such epic breakthroughs.
