Description
Among Americans, stem cell research and technology inspire both promise and fear: promise to those suffering from such degenerative diseases as ALS or Diabetes or Alzheimer’s; fear among those who see biotechnology as contrary to religious beliefs or who believe biotechnology threatens to open the door to cloning and other forms of genetic engineering. The Obama administration’s recent expansion of the types of cells available for stem cell research has further energized the debate between advocates and opponents.
Cleveland-Marshall’s Journal of Law and Health presents two experts in the fields of biotechnology and biomedical ethics to discuss policies being developed to safeguard medical/ethical standards and assure scientific integrity in stem cell research.
Bioethicist and Professor of Law Dena S. Davis and Case Western Reserve University’s Director of the Center for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Dr. Debra S. Grega will discuss these developments in a free public lecture, Lines of Communication: Advances in Stem Cell Policy, on November 17 at 5:00 PM in the Moot Court Room of the law school.
