Laura’s guests are Ann Kiessling, Associate Professor of Surgery at Harvard Medical School and Director of the Bedford Stem Cell Research Foundation and Eric Cohen, Consultant to the President’s Council on Bioethics, Editor of The New Atlantis and Director of the Biotechnology and American Democracy Program at the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington.
