Human Cloning and Embryonic Stem Cell Research
February 23, 2005
A Consumer's Guide to a Brave New World


Wesley J. Smith at the Emerald Heights Academy

Scare headlines about the first human clones appear in our newspapers. Biotech companies brag about manufacturing human embryos as "products" for use in medical treatments. Wesley J. Smith provides us with a guide to the brave new world that is no longer a figment of our imagination, but a reality just around the corner of our lives. Smith unravels the mystery of stem cells and shows what is at stake in the controversy over using stem cells for research. He describes the emerging science of human cloning – the most radical technology in history – and shows how it moves forward inexorably against the moral consensus of the world. . "At stake," he warns, "is whether science will continue to serve society, or instead dominate it."

This event will be held on Wednesday, February 23, at 6:30 at the Emerald Heights Academy. Cost for the event is $10 and includes a private reception with the speaker, hors d'oeuvres, beverages and book signing.
