Abstract | Research using pluri-potent human embryonic stem cells
(ESC) has raised hopes that tissues incapable of selfregeneration
when damaged, e.g. brain, heart, pancreatic
Islet cells etc., can now be replaced by coaxing ESC to
become the damaged tissue, potentially curing heart disease,
Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries
and diabetes. However, the use of ESC has also sparked an
intense worldwide moral debate. This paper reviews and
discusses the ethical issues of ESC research. |
