Abstract
In December 1999 the journal Science declared stem cells the “breakthrough of the year.” Promising what appear to be miraculous cures but surrounded with ethical controversy, the creation and use of embryonic stem cells presents an area where Christians find themselves divided. However, even in the absence of complete consensus, the members of the church must engage each other and society, exploring the complex new issues presented by science within the framework of our Christian faith.
