Abstract

Medical research on human embryo stem cells has provoked a considerable amount of moral controversy. In this paper, the author critically analyses the arguments in this debate. A theory of moral status that coherently and plausibly advocates the use of embryonic stem cells in therapeutic research is also outlined.
