The laboratories have initiated Phase 1 clinical trials for the use of human pluripotent embryonic stem cells to treat paralyzed patients following spinal cord injury. The first step is to estimate the risks and tolerance of cell transplantation in a man. The fate of stem cells (multipotent or pluripotent) in the body is still poorly understood, and it is not excluded that uncontrolled cell multiplications occur, leading to the appearance of teratomas (tumor developed from pluripotent cells).

Advantages are:

* The safety of the cells also seems to be proven (in short term)

* Rats transplanted seven days after the injury had benefited from reactivation of myelinization of neurons by oligodendrocytes, attenuation of motor neuron loss and improvement of limb motor function.

The disadvantages are:

* Constraints of the ethical and religious order, it is necessary the consent and the approval of the donor and the recipient for the transplant to take place.

* The development of the technique is still new, there is a chance that side effects of the transplant appear years after the operation.

Over successive generations, moths develop spots that resemble eyes on their wings that scare off predators. this characteristic
Sati [7]
In this example of evolutionary development, we can see a selective advantage.
Developing of new characteristics, in this case, the spots on moth's wings is a part of the process of adaptation of organisms to their environment.
The new characteristics are acquired through mutations and natural selection filters the ones that are the most beneficial for the holder.
For example, a  mutation which results in moths having shorter wings is disadvantageous, because it makes the individual who possesses it less likely to survive and reproduce.
On the other hand, developing of spots that resemble eyes can be advantageous, since it enables the holder of the trait to be more successful and more likely to leave offspring.
