Human embryonic stem cells can divide indefinitely and have the potential to developinto many types of tissue. Research on these cells is essential to one of the most intriguingmedical frontiers, regenerative medicine. It also raises a host of difficult ethical issues and hassparked great public interest and controversy.This book offers a foundation for thinking about themany issues involved in human embryonic stem cell research. It considers questions about the natureof human life, the limits of intervention into human cells and tissues, and the meaning of ourcorporeal existence. The fact that stem cells may be derived from living embryos that are destroyedin the process or from aborted fetuses ties the discussion of stem cell research to the ongoingdebates on abortion. In addition to these issues, the essays in the book touch on broader questionssuch as who should approve controversial research and what constitutes human dignity, respect, andjustice. The book contains contributions from the Ethics Advisory Board of the Geron Coroporation;excerpts from expert testimony given before the National Bioethics Advisory Commission, which helpedshape recent National Institutes of Health policy; and original analytical essays on theimplications of this research.
