Announcing New Link to Complete Stem Cell Debate Coverage

I've added a new, important link to this site's Stem Cell Research homepage...a link to the Boston Globe's 2005 Pulitzer Prize winning coverage of The Stem Cell Debate.

Boston Globe Pulitzer Prize winning reporter Gareth Cook spent a year and traveled thousands of miles to understand the moral and ethical, scientific and myriad of human aspects of stem cell research. His writing is interesting and honest as he interviews, analyzes and carefully explains in great detail.

And in fact, Cook broke the story that a conservative member of the President's bioethics panel is exploring a promising new technique to produce embryonic stem cells without destroying embryos, which is a moral obstacle for many. The Globe also includes a number of easy-to-follow informational graphics.

What I especially like about the Boston Globe Stem Cell debate coverage is that it recognizes and honors the fact that at every step in the embryonic stem cell therapy process, decisions are made by scientists, researchers, medical professionals and women who donate eggs...decisions that are fraught with serious ethical and moral implications.

Be sure to take the time to read and ponder this excellent, fair and balanced resource and guide to the Stem Cell Debate.
