As pleasing as this may sound‚ such occurrences just do not seem realistic or even possible in today’s world. Although‚ if we take a step back and look into time travel on a smaller scale‚ at the cellular level‚ it is indeed possible to revert to an earlier stage of life.

Stem Cell Research Legislation and Related Legal Issues DeVry University The first embryonic stem cells were first isolated from animals in 1981 by Sir Martin Evans. However it wasn’t until 1998 that James Thompson first isolated human embryonic stem cells. Since then continuing research with stem cells has shown to be sensitive issue because of the perception of morality by humans. For this reason stem cell research legislation has been enacted and has been ever changing throughout time. Therefore
