Description
A discussion of all the key issues in the use of human pluripotent stem cells for treating degenerative diseases or for replacing tissues lost from trauma. On the practical side, the topics range from the problems of deriving human embryonic stem cells and driving their differentiation along specific lineages, regulating their development into mature cells, and bringing stem cell therapy to clinical trials. Regulatory issues are addressed in discussions of the ethical debate surrounding the derivation of human embryonic stem cells and the current policies governing their use in the United States and abroad, including the rules and conditions regulating federal funding and questions of intellectual property.
First Sentence
The announcement in February 1997 by researchers at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, Scotland of the successful cloning of a sheep named Dolly from adult mammary cells surprised the scientific community and captured the public's attention, provoking hopeful comments from political leaders, religious figures, and eminent scientists about potential benefits, as well as expressions of fears that it could lead to profound ethical transgressions.
