Description: Stem cell research is expensive, and whether the government should help pay for it has been a long-standing part of the controversies surrounding it. The presidential administrations of the early twenty-first century have taken dramatically different positions on whether the government should fund embryonic stem cell research, and each has been met with varying forms of opposition. In this book, articles present six viewpoints on the issues surrounding stem cell research, organized in the patented Opposing Viewpoints format to help students learn to organize ideas and write essays using common critical writing techniques. - Publisher.
