Opis

The use of stem cells for research, whether from children, adults, aborted fetuses, or embryos, must be done under conditions of the most rigorous integrity for several reasons. The use of adult stem cell requires the same conditions as those required in the case of tissue donation, based on respect for the integrity of the human body and the free and informed consent of the donor. The use of foetal tissues to derive stem cells requires, besides informed consent, that no abortion is induced for the purpose of obtaining the tissues and that the termination timing and the way it is carried out are not influenced by this retrieval. This book is a try to usher light on path of ethical requirements for carrying out stem cell research in cancer therapy.
