Re: If you're interested in learning more about the stem cell research debate...
I didn't know Rowley was on the council. I know Kass is. Kass is a great speaker. Rowley is brilliant but she bored me in a couple lectures.
Anyway, here is the link to the president's council on bioethics:

Reason as Our Guide by Elizabeth Blackburn and Janet Rowley
*Basically, this article is saying that some of the reports written by the President's Council on Bioethics were biased and contained incomplete information. Here is an excerpt:
And here is some correspondence regarding the article:
Taking the Stem Cell Debate to the Public by Leonard I. Zon, Laurie Zoloth, and Suzanne Kadereit
*This is a pro-stem cell research article. Here is an excerpt:
Beyond Therapy … by Robert Sinsheimer
*This one disagrees with the first authors' approach and reasoning, but agrees with stem cell research:
Ethics as Our Guide by Michael Cook
*This article is concerned about the lack of ethics in the first article, and seems to be somewhat anti-stem cell research:
Scientists and Bioethics Councils by Anne McLaren
*This article is written by a UK researcher that agrees with a lack of scientific evidence in the President's Council:
A Voice for Research, a Voice for Patients by Daniel Perry
*This article complains about the lack of patients on the President's Council:
Ethereal Ethics by Robin Lovell-Badge
*This article was written by a member of bioethics councils in the U.K., and criticizes the U.S.'s approach to stem cell research (the U.K. has been supportive of such research):
Anyway, sorry about the long post, but I thought some people might be interested in what the scientific community is saying about the topic.
