What's in a Name? "Nuclear Transplantation" and the Ethics of Stem Cell Research

Authors

Margaret R. McLean

Abstract

In 1997, California appointed an Advisory Committee to evaluate the medical, ethical, and social implications of "human cloning" for reproductive and non-reproductive purposes. This Essay, written by a member of the Advisory Committee, extends the conversation begun in the report, "Cloning Californians?" about the ethics of "non-reproductive human cloning" focusing on language, science, societal informed consent, and social justice.
