Welcome! My name is Stephanie. With this blog I aim to inform readers about several issues surrounding embryonic stem cell research including ethics surrounding embryonic stem cell research along with the positive and negative affects embryonic stem cell research could have on society, medicine, and science. I do not intend to persuade readers to side for or against this type of research, but I do hope to give readers a better understanding of the science behind the research and how that is directly linked to the surmounting ethical issues surrounding the subject. I am not a professional, but a college student trying to better understand the issues of embryonic stem cell research. With this blog, I hope to inform others and teach myself something about embryonic stem cell research.
