This timely volume brings together essays by an internationally
distinguished and diverse group of scholars. Contributors
thoughtfully explore the ethical, public policy, and scientific
implications of embryonic and adult stem cell research. Part one of
the book offers a variety of scientific and public policy
perspectives, including essays on stem cell plasticity and using
umbilical cord blood as an alternative source of pluripotent stem
cells. Part two vigorously examines the ethics of stem cell
research and considers issues of social justice, morality, and
public policy. Scientific alternatives, a natural law perspective
regarding federal funding, and a discussion of the possible moral
complicity of Catholic researchers are among the distinctive
contributions made to the stem cell research debate by this
collection. The objective and balanced discussions contained in
this volume serve as an accessible introduction to the bioethical
questions, issues, and problems surrounding stem cell research.
