Regenerative Medicine Ethics: Governing Research and Knowledge Practices

The book places the ethics, policy and politics of stem cells in context, so readers can see why past and current disputes took the shape they did and what they mean for future work. It also looks at emerging questions as the field moves towards clinical and industrial use.

Much writing on embryo use and embryonic personhood already exists, but this book focuses on what practising scientists and managers need to know to plan and carry out responsible research. It notes that NIH-funded researchers must complete ethics training as a condition of their grants.

It is intended for pre-professional students, whether they are heading into industry, government or academia. Edition note: published by Springer Nature (2014 edition), 227 pages, ISBN-13 9781461490616.
