Description
Human Embryonic Stem Cells: An Introduction to the Science and Therapeutic Potential, A.A. Kiessling and S. C. Anderson, 198 pp. plus Glossary and Index. Jones and Bartlett Publishers, Sudbury, Massachusetts, 2003. Jose Cibelli, Professor of Animal Biotechnology at Michigan State University, writes the Foreword for Human Embryonic Stem Cells, and in it he asks the reader to "dream of the possibility of an unlimited supply of cells capable of generating any tissue in the human body" (p. xiii). The cells he speaks of are embryonic stem cells (ESCs), and they fuel one of the most controversial and contentious debates at the interface connecting modern science and society. Derived from 5-day-old embryos smaller than the head of a pin, ESCs have the potential to replace lost cells, regenerate damaged or diseased human tissues, and prevent the devastating effects of age-related illnesses such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease.
