Ethical discussions about the therapeutic use of stem
cells
The Debate

The issue about using stem cells requires some knowledge of biology.

What do I already know about…  

1. Where stem cells come from?  

2. What can stem cells do?

3. What are the ethical issues involved with using stem cells?

What do I need to learn more about?

Where will the information that I need come from? (What are my resources?)

Family or culture / teachers or textbooks / internet resources

Where do I stand in the decision about the ethical issues of using stem cells for
therapeutic treatments?

AM I AGAINST THE USE ? AM I FOR THE USE?

   

What am I basing my decision on?
