Gr 5-8- In short chapters, the authors explain the basic problem and examine a variety of points of view regarding each topic. Stem Cell Research requires that readers understand terminology such as sperm, egg, embryo, terminated pregnancy, and fertility treatments. It includes summaries of different religious groups' and countries' stated views and laws with regard to research.
