Embryonic Stem Cells: Why not?

Below you will find links to articles written by Dr. Maureen Condic on the issue of embryonic stem cells for the monthly journal First Things over the past four + years. What prompted me to do this is that she has the featured article in the soon-to-be delivered January issue of this excellent publication. As the featured article, it is made available free and in advance on the website. So, in chronological order- earliest to most recent- here are her very informative articles, carefully written by an expert for non-experts. Using her First Things bio, she "is an Associate Professor of Neurobiology and Anatomy at the University of Utah; she is currently conducting research on the regeneration of embryonic and adult neurons following spinal cord injury." This is important reading for any morally responsible citizen of our democratic republic, which, as Christians, we are called to be.
