The central question of this book is whether or not particular cell
entities of human origin ought to be considered human beings. The
answer is crucial for making moral decisions for or against
research and experimentation. Experts in the field discuss the
production of embryonic-like pluripotent stem cells by altered
nuclear transfer, parthenogenesis and reprogramming of adult
somatic cells. They thoroughly analyse the biological and moral
status of different cell entities, such as human stem cells,
embryos and human-animal hybrid embryos, and make a decisive step
towards establishing final criteria for what constitutes a human
being. The topic is challenging in nature and of broad interest to
all those concerned with current bioethical thought on embryonic
human life and its implications for society.
