About this book

A collection of objective essays reviewing the principal arguments for and against stem cell research. Among the issues considered are whether stem cell research treats embryos as "commodities," violates the rights of human embryos, or alienates women from their reproductive labor, and whether human embryos are entitled to full membership in the moral community.

Reviews

"...offers an up to date presentation of some of the issues surrounding the use of human stem cells in research." - Bull. Med. Eth.
