When it comes to stem cell research, political hype is often substituted for scientific facts. Do No Harm: The Coalition of Americans for Research Ethics is a partnership of researchers, bioethicists, academics, and others devoted to informing the public of the ethics and science of stem cell research. The centerpiece of the Coalition’s efforts is the Do No Harm website, www.stemcellresearch.org, maintained by CBHD. One featured section is “The ‘Political Science’ of Stem Cells,” a series of one-page ‘lessons’ that counters hype with scientific fact.
Those planning to attend CBHD’s 13th annual international summer conference, are encouraged to consider presenting a paper or workshop during this event. Accepted presenters will receive a $50 discount on conference registration.
Those interested should submit an abstract and biographical profile of approximately 150-250 words each by April 28, 2006, to:
