Stem cell therapy is a growing field of medical intervention that is being used to enhance longevity and healthspan. Advancements in research, biotechnology, and regenerative medicine have expanded its potential applications but it also raises both ethical and efficacy concerns. The primary ethical issue comes from the use of human embryos, which some people believe is morally problematic. While many countries regulate or restrict their use, others allow research with oversight.
In this interview with Dr. Joy Kong, a stem cell specialist at Chara Health Center in Los Angeles, we explore the practical aspects of treatment as well as the wider considerations surrounding stem cell sources, the long-term effects of therapy, and Dr. Kong's personal journey in regenerative medicine.
