The potential of these cells to replace diseased or damaged cells in virtually every tissue of the body heralds the advent of an extraordinary new field of medicine. Controversy arises, however, because current techniques required to harvest stem cells involve the destruction of the human blastocyst. This even-handed, lucidly written volume is an essential tool for understanding the complex issues--scientific, religious, ethical, and political--that currently fuel public debate about stem cell research. One of the few books to provide a comprehensive overview for a wide audience, the volume brings together leading scientists, ethicists, political scientists, and doctors to explain this new scientific development and explore its ramifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat the editors have managed to accomplish with \u003ci\u003eFundamentals of the Stem Cell Debate\u003c\/i\u003e is very significant. The book is well-informed, sophisticated, and attends to the moral and scientific complexities of stem cell research, rather than sweeping them under the rug. This book encompasses the complexities without sacrificing the other main virtue of the collection: to definitively illuminate the debate for all.--Jason Scott Robert, author of \u003ci\u003eEmbryology, Epigenesis, \u0026amp; Evolution: Taking Development Seriously\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKristen Renwick Monroe \u003c\/b\u003eheads the University of California at Irvine Interdisciplinary Center for the Scientific Study of Ethics and Morality and is author of \u003ci\u003eThe Hand of Compassion: Portraits of Moral Choice during the Holocaust \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Heart of Altruism: Perceptions of a Common Humanity.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eRonald B.
