Latest News and Research about Stem Cells and Your Opinions on Stem Cell Research (Feel free to CONTRIBUTE by adding comments, and your own summaries)
I blogged on a bunch of articles on this subject yesterday, but one more is worth noting. This is yesterday's article in the periodical The Scientist. The article gives a few more details about the technique used in the ANT process, and has a quote from Robert Lanza, who lead the PGD method team. Lanza believes that the ANT process does not resolve ethical issues. The Scientist article also gives some other useful links.
I have a BA in liberal arts with advanced degrees in writing and literature. I've long been interested in how science is represented in literature (including but not limited to science fiction) and other media, and in the ethical and social implications of scientific movements. I've written several academic articles on racial identity in science fiction and also done some work on Darwin in literature. 3 favorite novels relating science to past historical periods: The Voyage of The Narwhal, by Andrea Barrett; Angels and Insects, by A.S. Byatt (the first novella, Morpho Eugenia); and, less stikingly but still a great book, The Mannikin, by Joanna Scott.
