Can and Should the U.S. Be a
Leader in Human
Embryonic Stem Cell Research?
The Science and Technology Forum
of the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy in conjunction
with The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, The University
of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, and Baylor College of
Medicine will bring together and present business and community
leaders, policymakers, ethicists, science journalists, and scientists
to find
new ways to engage the general public in a dialogue on these vital
issues: Should the United States be involved in this
type of research? What are the medical, political, and
economic consequences of letting other nations take over the
leadership role? How would the U.S. regulate the research if it
were allowed?
