Stem cells: science, policy, and ethics.
Human embryonic stem cells offer the promise of a new regenerative medicine in which damaged adult cells can be replaced with new cells. Research is needed to determine the most viable stem cell lines and reliable ways to promote the differentiation of pluripotent stem cells into specific cell types (neurons, muscle cells, etc). To create new cell lines, it is necessary to destroy preimplantati...
متن کاملHuman embryonic stem cells: research, ethics and policy.
The use of human embryos for research on embryonic stem (ES) cells is currently high on the ethical and political agenda in many countries. Despite the potential benefit of using human ES cells in the treatment of disease, their use remains controversial because of their derivation from early embryos. Here, we address some of the ethical issues surrounding the use of human embryos and human ES ...

متن کاملCLINICAL ETHICS Stem cells, embryos, and the environment: a context for both science and ethics
Debate on the potential and uses of human stem cells tends to be conducted by two constituencies— ethicists and scientists. On many occasions there is little communication between the two, with the result that ethical debate is not informed as well as it might be by scientific insights. The aim of this paper is to highlight those scientific insights that may be of relevance for ethical debate. ...
متن کاملCloning, Stem Cells and Ethics
With the arrival of Dolly the sheep, came the first full-blown cloning of an adult mammal, in which the nucleus of an adult cell was transferred to an empty egg cell, jolted with an electric shock to initiate embryonic development, and subsequently implanted in another ewe, to eventually be born as Dolly. The remarkable message of Dolly is that advanced, or differentiated cells, that is cells a...
