This work reflects the continuing debate as to whether we should
experiment on human embryos or not. Should we use human embryos or
tissue from them, for therapeutic or research programmes? The
debate around questions such as this ranges from visions of new
Frankenstein's monsters and grotesque hybrids on the one hand, to
the possibility of cures for diseases like AIDS and cancer on the
other. While the debate continues, decisions have to be made on the
basis of the best available data, and this book aims to provide
evidence for each side of the debate, drawing upon contributors who
cover the scientific, legal, ethical, theological, historical, and
public policy dimensions of human embryo research and
experimentation. The scientific evidence is provided by figures in
embryology such as Professor Robert Edwards, one of the pioneers of
the "in vitro" fertilization technique. This book is intended to be
of interest to students and teachers of medicine, philosophy, law,
theology, social science and history.
