Rudolf Jaenisch featured on NOVA
scienceNOW
NOVA scienceNOW focuses on pioneering work by Whitehead
Member Rudolf Jaenisch and MIT graduate student Alexander
Meissner during a segment on embryonic stem cell research
that aired January 10, 2006. Using mice, the researchers
successfully extracted stem cells from a genetically
altered embryo-like entity that is unable to implant
in a uterus. The 8-minute NOVA broadcast explores the
ethical implications of this experiment through the
reactions of a clergyman, an ethicist and a prominent
stem cell researcher.
