Photograph by Yorgos Nikas, M.D.A mere speck nestled in the eye of a needle, a five-day-old embryo (photographed using an electron microscope) contains controversial stem cells.
There is an entire article in the July 2005 Issue of National Geographics Magazine. www.nationalgeographic.com
Interesting enough I was searching www.wpr.org online archives for a recent interview with Peter Isely and came across this:
10:00 AM
Catherine Brand in for Kathleen Dunn - 07/18E
Listen
Many researchers believe that stem cell research will eventually be used to treat everything from Alzheimer’s to spinal cord injuries. After ten, Catherine Brand's guest says it’s imperative to resolve the political issues surrounding stem cell research before the science can be fully realized. Guest: Rick Weiss, science writer for the Washington Post. Athor of a piece in the July 2005 issue of National Geographic Magazine. www.nationalgeographic.org
This is the URL for the actual article. One must actual buy the magazine to get the print copy - but hey, that's what public libraries are for.
