A collection of objective essays reviewing the principal arguments for and against stem cell research. Among the issues considered are whether stem cell research treats embryos as "commodities," violates the rights of human embryos, or alienates women from their reproductive labor, and whether human embryos are entitled to full membership in the moral community.

An Analogical Argument for Stem Cell Research.- Marginal Cases and the Moral Status of Embryos.- Fixations on the Moral Status of the Embryo.- Nazi Experiments and Stem Cell Research.- Recent Ethical Controversies About Stem Cell Research.- Complicity in Embryonic and Fetal Stem Cell Research and Applications: Exploring and Extending Catholic Responses.- Women, Commodification, and Embryonic Stem Cell Research.

"...offers an up to date presentation of some of the issues surrounding the use of human stem cells in research." - Bull. Med. Eth.
