[tab] [content title="Description"]Recent scientific advancements, celebrity advocates, and differing religious beliefs have converged to place stem cell research—particularly embryonic stem cell research—at the center of political controversy. President Bush's landmark policy allows federal funding for embryonic stem cell research but restricts it to a limited number of stem cell lines. This ongoing political debate could affect millions of Americans.Stem Cells and the Future of Regenerative Medicine delves into the biological, ethical, and funding issues raised by the therapeutic potential of undifferentiated human cells. Written in accessible language for general readers, the book summarizes current knowledge about both adult and embryonic stem cells and outlines the transition from animal studies to research with direct implications for human therapy. Crucially, the book addresses the moral and ethical dilemmas associated with the use of embryonic stem cells. It compares the effects of public and private funding on research and discusses necessary oversight measures. Drawing on insights from leading scientists, ethicists, and other experts, the book provides authoritative recommendations regarding the use of existing versus new stem cell lines in research, the vital role of the federal government in this domain, and other fundamental concerns.
