PROPOSALS FOR EMBRYONIC STEM CELL PRODUCTION WITHOUT DESTROYING HUMAN EMBRYOS: SCIENTIFIC AND BIOETHICAL CHALLENGES PROPUESTAS DE PRODUCCIÓN DE CÉLULAS MADRE EMBRIONARIAS SIN DESTRUIR EMBRIONES HUMANOS: RETOS CIENTÍFICOS Y BIOÉTICOS PROPOSTAS DE PRODUÇÃO DE CÉLULAS-TRONCO EMBRIONÁRIAS SEM DESTRUIR EMBRIÕES HUMANOS: DESAFIOS CIENTÍFICOS E BIOÉTICOS
The possibility of using human embryonic stem cells (ESC) for therapeutic purposes raises serious ethical objections, the most fundamental one being that until recently the only way to obtain ESC was with procedures that necessarily destroyed living human embryos. Due to this, research in this field...
