title: A scientist's view of the ethics of human embryonic stem cell research.
abstract: Scientists are rarely immoral and seldom even amoral. The ethical principles that underlie much of their own work are shared with scientists in other countries to a much greater degree than the cultural and religious differences among those countries would lead one to expect. Like me, few will have had any formal training in bioethics; so how might life scientists approach the varied ethical issues that arise in human embryo and stem cell research?
