Human embryonic stem cell lines are generated from blastocysts - early human embryos. But what are blastocysts, and when does personhood begin? What justifies research? Doctors, scientists, ethicists, theologians and a patient bring their different points of view, in this thought-provoking exploration of the ethical issues surrounding stem cell research. Awards and festivalsIn competition, Science Film Festival (Bangkok) Further readingThe two review articles below, by Kristina Hug, explore in more depth some of the issues raised in the "Conversations..." film. These articles were written as part of a project and workshop series on ethical and societal issues related to stem cell research for the original EuroStemCell.

Le cellule staminali embrionali dell'uomo si generano dalle blastocisti, una fase iniziale dell'embrione umano. Ma cosa sono le blastocisti e dove comincia la persona? Cosa giustifica la ricerca? Medici, scienziati, studiosi di etica, teologi e un paziente espongono i loro diversi punti di vista in questa volutamente provocatoria esplorazione dei problemi etici che circondano la ricerca sulle cellule staminali. Premi e partecipazioniIn competizione: Science Film Festival (Bangkok) Letture consigliateLe due recensioni qui sotto di Kristina Hug esplorano più in profondità alcune tematiche affrontate nel video "Conversazioni...". Questi articoli fanno parte di un progetto e di una serie di workshop su questioni etiche e sociali relative alla ricerca sulle cellule staminali per l'originale EuroStemCell.
