This web page has been created to educate the public about a scientific issue that raises both legal and ethical concerns. It has been done through the University of Michigan, in University Course 260 called Law, Ethics, and Life Sciences. Our topic is stem cells, and our media is an interactive, mulitmedia web page. We chose to cover stem cell research because of the significant attention the science is getting from the media, the public, and the government.

We have divided our site into three main parts of Science, Law, and Ethics. We recommend viewing the pages in that order. Each link offers information about that particular aspect of stem cell research. For each of these pages, there is text explanation, as well as a media that we have created to help teach a basic knowledge of subject area.
