Críticas
'Comprehensive and concise, Stem Cell Wars provides an indispensable primer for anyone interested in what promises to be the most significant medical science breakthrough in our lifetimes. It should also serve as a timely antidote to the politically inspired misinformation surrounding this important issue.' - Ron Reagan Jnr.
'Eve Herold weaves the stories of patients with debilitating diseases, of reports of scientific discoveries involving stem cells and cloning, with her firsthand participation in the policy developments in the rapidly evolving field of stem cell research to provide an understanding for the casual reader of the nuances of this research, its potential impact on the practice of medicine and the current impact on society and research of policy decisions, both pro and con. The issues with stem cell research are complex and Eve is successful in presenting them in an easily understood fashion.' - John Gearhart, Johns Hopkins Medicine, Baltimore, USA
'Eve Herold is the consummate battlefield correspondent of the Stem Cell Wars, a latter-day Ernie Pyle or Edward R. Murrow chronicling the clash of ideologies and science that help define the superheated politics of the 21st century. In her dispatches from the front, Eve Herold's sympathies are unwaveringly with the patients - the women and men, children and families - whose tragic and inspiring stories are the warm heart of this timely and disturbing book.' - Dan Perry, Vice President and former President, Coalition for the Advancement of Medical Research, Executive Director, Alliance for Aging Research
'Eve Herold is an eyewitness to history. She chronicles the battle of patients and researchers to advance the greatest medical breakthrough of our lifetimes in this highly readable account of the rancorous public policy debate that has become the #1 wedge issue in American politics. As part of the chronicle of the world stem cell debate, Eve Herold presents the inside story of Woo Suk Hwang and the Korean cloning scandal, and supplies the shocking details about the misconduct that rocked all of medical science.' - Bernard Siegel, Executive Director, Genetics Policy Institute
'In Stem Cell Wars, Eve Herold ducks nothing and discusses all - the good, the bad, and the ugly. It is simply the best and most complete single-source overview available today for patients and their families to understand this field of endeavor - its past, its present and its likely future.' - Jeff Eisen, Editor, www.stemcellpage.com
'A must-read for anyone who wants a better understanding of the current state of stem-cell science as well as an insight into the political and ethical controversies that are holding back developments in this new and exciting area of research.' - Helene Guldberg , Spiked Magazine
'Eve Herold is a science and health journalist who has witnessed at first hand many of the recent developments in this unfolding research. In Stem Cell Wars, she offers a detailed account of these events set against an account of the underlying biology and the potential clinical benefits...She has written an exciting, rapidly moving account of the events associated with stem cell research.' - Ian Wilmut, Director, Scottish Centre for Regenerative Medicine, Edinburgh University, writing in the THES
'This book is a must for anyone wishing to understand the complexities of the stem cell debate in the US and, in particular, how casually relevant scientific findings can be variously exaggerated, belittled or ignored in a battle in which emotive impact becomes the principal weapon'. - Sir Richard Gardner FRS, Science in Parliament
'...Herold is clearly enthusiastic about the potential of stem cell therapy, she is also realistic in her evaluation of the challenges.' - Edward Wawrzynczak, I,Science (The Imperial College Science Magazine)
Commended in the Popular Medicine category of the 2008 BMA Medical Book Competition.
'...this book will certainly contribute to better understanding of the stem cell research by the general public...As far as the science popularisation goes Stem Cell Wars is an excellent book.' - BMA Medical Book Competition Committee
Reseña del editor
According to stem-cell research expert Eve Herold, the public have become victims of misinformation about this essential science. The stem-cell debate has been intensely political, religious, and confusing to many people. Now, Herold explains to a general audience what this science is all about, who is for and against it, and why it must progress.

Eve Herold is an award-winning science writer and consultant in the scientific and medical nonprofit space. A long-time communications and policy executive for scientific organizations, she served as Director of Policy Research and Education for the Healthspan Action Coalition. She has written extensively about issues at the crossroads of science and society, including stem cell research and regenerative medicine, aging and longevity, medical implants, transhumanism, robotics and AI and bioethical issues in leading-edge medicine. Previous books include Stem Cell Wars and Beyond Human, and her work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, Vice, The Washington Post and The Boston Globe, among others. She's a frequent contributor to the online science magazine, Leaps, and is the recipient of the 2019 Arlene Eisenberg Award from the American Society of Journalists and Authors. Americans have become the victims of misinformation about stem cell research. Over the last few years, the stem cell debate has been intensely political, religious, and confusing to many people. Now, Eve Herold explains what this science is all about, who is for and against it, and why it must go forward. She pulls together fascinating stories to highlight every aspect of this multifaceted field. She exposes the politics of stem cell research and demonstrates how the outcome of the debate could ultimately affect all of us. Packed with real-life stories of the people caught up in this groundbreaking struggle, Stem Cell Wars cuts through the noise and sets the standard for future debate.
