The Stem Cell Debate: The Ethics and Science Behind the Research (Issues in Focus Today) [Library Binding]

Laura Black (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 6-10–The use of stem cells holds promise of curing diseases and repairing body parts. The science behind stem cells, however, raises numerous complex ethical questions that are being debated by top policymakers and government officials. These issues include when human life begins and whether embryonic cells should be used in stem cell research. Black addresses these questions as well as the state of current research and progress. Numerous sidebars and color diagrams and photos complement the text. Source notes include material through 2006. An optional choice for libraries that own other recent titles on this topic, such as Toney Allman's Stem Cells (Gale, 2005).–Caroline Geck, Kean University, Union, NJ
