Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Joy Kong, MD ("The Best Stem Cells for the Best Results", June 29, 2024). Speakers note that many embryos fail to develop into healthy babies (citing miscarriages) and that the immune system routinely clears nascent cancers—contextual points used to motivate discussion about cells and stem-cell–related therapies.

A lot of embryos don't become a healthy baby, Right? That's why there are a lot of miscarriages, because it's not easy to form a perfectly functioning human being.
And so much of our body is made up of cells like everybody has. Everybody right now, I've heard, has little cancers in their body, but our immune system gets rid of them. So it makes sense to have a lot of these cells that don't make it into a successful, healthy part of my body.
