Alison Bateman-House,Laura L Kimberly,Barbara K. Redman,Nancy Neveloff Dubler,Arthur L. Caplan +4 more
TL;DR: Right-to-try laws based on model legislation promulgated by a libertarian think tank, the Goldwater Institute, do nothing to significantly change patient access to investigational medical products and may result in unintended negative consequences for patients and society.

Journal ArticleDOI

Glenn McGee,Arthur L. Caplan +1 more
TL;DR: An ethical argument can be made that it is justifiable to modify or destroy certain human embryos in the pursuit of cures for dread and lethal diseases, and until this argument is made, the case for stem cell research will rest on political foundations rather than on the ethical foundations that the funding of stem cellResearch requires.
