Presentations
- Streiffer - Stem Cells and Cloning:
a presentation for
Datex-Ohmeda. Discusses the science and potential benefits of human embryonic
stem cell (hES cell) research, the pro-life argument against it, the question
of the moral status of the fetus, a variety of attempts to argue in favor of
hES cell research consistently with the pro-life view of the moral status of
the fetus, the relationship between hES cell research and therapeutic cloning,
and briefly summarizes the recent work by South Korean scientists Woo Suk
Hwang and Shin Yong Moon, who were the first to successfully clone a human
being and extract hES cell from the resulting embryo.
