Kurzbeschreibung: Stem cell research using cells taken from human embryos and adult tissues shows potential towards developing urgently needed future medical treatments. However, this research raises complex ethical, legal and social questions. How should patients, researchers, regulators, funders and society as a whole take these into account? What are the urgent questions we should address now- and which challenges might we face in decades to come?
