IUPUI Center for Bioethics to address stem cell research

Reports in 1998 that medical researchers had isolated human embryonic stem cells immediately raised important social, ethical, legal and policy issues requiring careful consideration.

Eric Meslin, director of the Center for Bioethics (IUCB) on the IUPUI campus, has formed a Stem Cell Study Group to consider those issues.

The group’s primary goal is to inform the university and wider communities about the different perspectives involved in these issues.

IUBC was established last July as a university-wide center with multidisciplinary involvement from many schools and programs on IU’s Indianapolis and Bloomington campuses. It is supported by the School of Medicine and the Indiana Genomics Initiative with in-kind and other support from the School of Liberal Arts and the School of Law.
