Debate Over Embryo Research Divides Ethics and Policy
A New York Times opinion package examines how bioethicists frame the stem cell and cloning debates after Congress bans on cloning and President Bush signals limited federal funding. It contrasts Nigel Cameron and Arthur Caplan on embryo morality and explores why ethics has become central to science policy amid rapid advances.
Bush states stem cell policy at crossroads of life and science
President Bush, in a weekly radio address from Crawford, Texas, framed his decision to limit federal funding for embryonic stem cell research as balancing protection of life with potential medical advances. He condemned creating human embryos for experimentation and strongly opposed human cloning, while noting disease battles require careful, ethical pursuit of cures. The Democrats’ address focused on patients’ rights and legislation.
