Stem Cells, Embryos, & Ethics (3)
Our January podcast is about embryonic stem cell research. We feature some interesting interviews with the public and an analysis of the ethics. We also look at a report on a conflict between Dr. Peter Singer and the animal rights movement, and we ask this month’s Tough Ethics Question.
Special thanks to senior biology major Stacey Henness, who took microphone and recorder in hand to talk with some folks at a nearby shopping mall.

Good show! It was quite interesting and disconcerting to realize how little some people understand about stem cell research. Thanks for helping to clear up the confusion. Advocacy on behalf of embryonic human beings is a vitally important way to uphold the cause of the fatherless – a prominent command in Scripture.
