Editorial Reviews

Take your students inside James Thomson's laboratory at the University of Wisconsin where stem cells were first cultured to learn why this breakthrough is so important in the 21st century. This new video will help you show your students what stem cells are, how they are cultured, why they offer such potential for the future of our health and welfare. The program addresses both the science and the ethical dilemmas that accompany this advance in biology. Includes interviews with pioneers in stem cell technology and in stem cell ethics.
