Description
The explosion of interest in stem cell research raises a raft of controversial policy questions. When should human embryos be used to create stem cells? Should cloning be outlawed? Should egg and tissue donors be paid? Should we allow stem cells to be patented? Is the government entitled to a portion of the revenue from stem cell technology created with public funds? How should the FDA and the courts balance access to revolutionary treatments with protection of the public against unknown risks? In this book, Russell Korobkin and Stephen Munzer provide the first thorough discussion and analysis of these and other unsettled legal and policy issues surrounding stem cell science. Their clear and concise description of complex problems coupled with logical and well-balanced policy conclusions makes this volume essential reading for scholars and general readers concerned with the success of stem cell research and the future of regenerative medicine.

Description
A timely and provocative analysis of the broad range of policy issues raised by stem cell science and how lawmakers should address them
The explosion of interest in stem cell research raises a raft of controversial policy questions. When should human embryos be used to create stem cells? Should cloning be outlawed? Should egg and tissue donors be paid? Should we allow scientists to patent stem cells? Is the government entitled to a portion of the revenue from stem cell technology created with public funds? How should the regulators and courts balance the competing goals of access to revolutionary treatments and protection of the public from unknown risks?
Russell Korobkin, with contributions from Stephen R. Munzer, provides the first thorough discussion and analysis of these and other unsettled questions of law, policy, and ethics that surround stem cell science. His clear and concise description of complex problems coupled with logical and well-balanced conclusions makes this volume essential reading for all Americans, general readers and experts alike, interested in the promise of stem cell research and the future of regenerative medicine.
