Description
The Human Embryo Research Panel was charged with developing guidelines for all federally funded research on the human embryo. Controversy swirled around everything it did. This account of the author's work on the Panel places philosophical issues such as requirements of public reasoning and the determination of moral personhood, in a narrative framework. It also bridges the discussion with chapters on stem cell research and cloning.
