The Stem Cell Dilemma

★Awarded a star by Kirkus Reviews for "remarkable merit"


A world map showing which countries have developed national policies supporting human embryonic stem cell research. This map was used during the debate in the U.S. Senate over proposed stem cell research legislation in 2007.

Artist, engineer and anatomist Leonardo da Vinci made a famous map of the world in 1514. It was inspired by the Age of Discovery, a time of overseas exploration, new technology, and trade. Who will lead in the new Age of Discovery based on the life sciences?
