It may surprise you to know that Bioethics was not offered at the Institute during the time of my confinement there. We did have an outstanding etiquette class though. The end result is that I'm better versed in setting a dining table than in discussing the ethical issues surrounding stem cell research.
On these topics, you'll have to be the teacher and I'll be the slack jawed student. I do have some interest in the controversy surrounding stem cell research due to familial diseases that have the potential of being cured through stem cell therapy.
What would you identify as the fundamental ethical concern in stem cell research?
