Embryonic stem cell research has been an extremely divisive topic that needs sustained, thoughtful conversation so that sound public policy can be developed. That conversation requires an understanding of the basic biological concepts of early human embryonic development, the current state of technology with respect to embryo manipulation, and the prospects for use of embryonic stem cells. Come explore questions surrounding the ethical limits of embryo manipulation and how results of advances in stem cell technology can be distributed in a time of limited resources.

Lisa Sardinia Ph.D., J.D. is associate professor of biology at Pacific University and associate director of the Pacific Institute for Ethics and Social Policy. http://pacificu.edu/as/biology/faculty/sardinia.cfm
