Breakthrough in Stem Cell Research
The chapter discusses a breakthrough in stem cell research that allows for the development of a model embryo, similar to a human embryo. The speakers explain the process of coaxing human stem cells into becoming four types of cells found in the early stages of a human embryo, and the spontaneous formation of an embryo-like structure. They also address the ethical considerations surrounding embryo models and the importance of informed societal discussions.
