Bioethicist shatters stem cell myths

Proponents spin, hype and oversell embryonic stem cell facts and myths

True or False? The Catholic Church opposes stem cell research. In the high stakes debate over this emerging therapy the answer to that question, says Father Tadeusz Pacholczyk, is not necessarily obvious.

“We must discriminate the truth claims from all the hype that’s out there,” said Father Pacholczyk, a bioethicist who earned a Ph.D. in neuroscience at Yale University and currently serves as director of education for the National Catholic Bioethics Center in Philadelphia.
