Abstract: This year of 2018, the world is celebrating the twentieth year of marvelous success of stem cell discovery. The history of stem cell research was not as easy as it seems to be but had to undergo a long challenge both in experiments and from external world because of its direct involvement with Life experiments. It had undergone strict ethical scrutiny and many moral dilemmas in order to get into the present status. Now the challenge has increased since it is going for real clinical trials in the coming years. This article intends to find out philosophical history of stem cell research over a period of these twenty years.
