Stem Cell:Letting go of the fantasy
Stem cell research has been presented to us as the next great hope, the new path to a long and healthy life, with replaceable parts, grown to order as need be. Are we driven by the desire to cure, to care, or to generate profit? In this lecture, internationally acclaimed Professor of Sociology, Barbara Katz Rothman critically examines some of the arguments made about stem cell science and treatments. She encourages us to think about what is happening in stem cell science now, about the implications for women who increasingly are encouraged to sell embryos for research, and about the economics and ethics of a field which is full of great promise.
