Summary of Bioethics and the New Embryology: Springboards for Debate

The presentation of topics follows the sequence used in most developmental biology courses. The two-chapter units address specific questions, juxtaposing the scientific "facts" (in the initial chapter) with the ethical questions (in the second chapter). While the science has been simplified and explained at the level of an introductory biology course, it successfully conveys the essential information for useful discussions. The final unit contains information and discussion about three topics-the definition of "normal," the question of genetic determinism, and the use of animals in scientific research-that predate the "embryological revolution" but remain important issues for scientists and concerned citizens alike to consider.
