About the book
Lori Gruen, Laura Grabel and Peter Singer assemble essays on the ethical issues surrounding human embryonic stem-cell research. Contributors examine the moral status of embryos alongside the interests of patients, donors and researchers.
The volume also considers regulation, consent, privacy and the relationship between scientific possibilities and public decision-making. Its different perspectives support careful examination of a contested field rather than assuming a single shared view.
Key ideas
- The moral status of human embryos
- Consent and responsibilities in research
- Regulation and the ethics of scientific development
