Spare embryos and human embryonic stem cell research: ethics of different public policies in the western world

In 1998 scientists discovered in that human embryonic stem cell (HESC) could be derived from human embryos which were created in the laboratory as part of IVF technique. It gives substance to hopes for novel principles of treatment and it is a great project in the biomedicine for the 21st century. B...
