Synopsis

Saving lives versus taking lives: These are the stark terms in which the public regards human embryo research - a battleground of extremes, a war between science and ethics. Such a simplistic dichotomy, encouraged by vociferous opponents of abortion and proponents of medical research, is precisely what Jane Maienschein seeks to counter with this book.

Media Reviews
This book should be required reading for anyone trying to understand the scientific and ethical issues that will dominate medicine in the next quarter century. - Publishers Weekly; Maienschein brilliantly brings to the debate a variable absent in most discussions of the subject - history. - Michele Pridmore-Brown, Times Literary Supplement; Maienschein's historical account is both engaging and accurate. - Robert Winston, Nature; Maienschein's delightful book Whose View of Life? is a welcome reminder - and, for optimists, represents the hope - that today's intransigence might someday yield to a humbler stance by all partisans in this debate. - R. Alta Charo, New England Journal of Medicine
