Scientific and Medical Aspects of Human Reproductive Cloning (Stem Cells) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A panel of 11 biomedical scientists and physicians considers the scientific and medical aspects but not ethical, religious, or societal issues of reproductive cloning of human beings, including the distinctions between reproductive cloning and related methods used to derive new embryonic stem cells. Coverage includes definitions and applications, animal cloning, assisted reproductive technology and processes, and the regulatory context. The panel recommends a ban on human reproductive cloning on the basis that it is dangerous and likely to fail, but it supports further research on stem cells isolated through nuclear transplantation. An extensive bibliography is included. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
