Table of Contents1: Introduction: The Ethics of Embryonic Stem Cell Research 2: The Discarded-Created Distinction 3: The Use-Derivation Distinction 4: Technical Solutions 5: Compromise and Consistency Bibliography IndexReviewsAs an academic bioethicist with experience in the clinical setting, it is important to me that context and morality are married. Devolder's book accomplishes this task nicely, beginning in the introduction with a consideration of the potential use of embryonic stem cell (if not the embryo as a whole) for the alleviation of pain and disease. She convincingly directs us towards our moral obligation to allieviate suffering, underscoring that embryonic stem cell research is thus a moral enterprise.
