FYI, a little more detail on the Diane Rehm
radio show I mentioned. Here's her blurb
for the show tomorrow.
*****************************************************
Scientists announced last week that they've
successfully isolated human stem cells,
embryonic cells that can specialize into all
the different cell types of the body -- nerves,
blood, muscle, and organs. A panel explains
why stem cells have long been one of medical
science's "holy grails" and discusses the
implications of this breakthrough.
GUESTS
Dr. John Gearhart, Johns Hopkins University
School of Medicine
Dr. Arthur Caplan, professor of biomedical
ethics and director of the Center for
Bioethics at the University of Pennsylvania
Other guests to be announced
