"Eve Herold weaves the stories of patients with debilitating diseases and reports of scientific discoveries involving stem cells and cloning, with her firsthand participation in the policy developments in the rapidly evolving field of stem cell research. She provides an understanding of the nuances of this research, its potential impact on the practice of medicine, and the current impact on society and research of policy decisions. She shifts through various layers of the science and the social and religious controversies and provides an easily followed time frame of the major discoveries and events over the past decade in stem cell research, including the most recent revelation of scientific fraud in producing patient-specific embryonic stem cells. The issues with stem cell research are complex, and Herold is successful in presenting them in an easily understood fashion."
