DESCRIPTION:Stem cells can be derived from most tissues of the body\, but 
 for purposes of stem cell therapy and regenerative medicine\, the most val
 uable in the long term may prove to be the embryonic stem cells\, derived 
 from early preimplantation stages of embryo development. However\, it is t
 hese stem cells that are of most ethical concern. Moral values vary betwee
 n different cultures and different countries\, and may shift with time. Th
 is talk will discuss ethical issues involved with early human embryos\, an
 d the impact of these ethical issues on regulations and laws relating to s
 tem cell research internationally.
