Description

At the center of a scientific, moral and political firestorm is a microscopic ball of cells no bigger than the period at the end of this sentence. The cells that make the outside wall of the sphere fit together, edge to edge, in a kind of regular, architectural elegance. Deep inside lies an irregular mound of cells - primitive, primordial, each awaiting genetic instructions that will determine its fate. The instructions, received through the cell wall, sets off a cascade of atomic, molecular and cellular machinery that in the short span of hours and days will forever change the cell and the new cells it spawns. One cell and its nearest neighbors will go on to form the spinal cord; another few will eventually become the heart; yet another set, the pancreas. This is the earliest stage of a creature's development. There is no moment richer with possibility - every cell inside this sphere has the potential to become anything in the organism: blood, skeleton, nerves. This book describes the science, therapeutic potential, ethical debate, and politics surrounding these astounding cells.
