Stem Cells (August 2006)
Gregory Pike, September 2006.

Dr Gregory K Pike is the Director of the Southern Cross Bioethics Institute in Adelaide. His PhD was in physiology. He has undertaken research in neurobiology and membrane biophysics.

The Bioethics Institute is concerned with the influence of bioethics on public policy development.

The stem cell story has a history, and it is important to visit some of that history to understand properly the particular ethical characteristics of the current debate.
