Where this comes from

Abstract

Stem cells can be coaxed to self-organize into dynamic models of human development and early embryo formation. Despite their scientific promise, might widespread use of these technologies alter people's beliefs about what it means to be a human individual? Attention to some important philosophical distinctions may help navigate our thinking.
