This reports on the history of stem cells from when Jamie Thompson first developed a human embryonic stem cell and discusses stem cell research, politics, and technology. I haven’t read it yet, but I wanted to pass it along to readers who might want to get a copy right away.

Also, the Korea Times reported last week on a book in Korean called Discussion, which “is a record of conversations between two veteran scholars from different backgrounds, one from humanities and the other from biology, as they seek answers in this technocratic, but ethically anemic, society.” I hope it will be translated at some time soon, it sounds interesting.
