      <title>Book Discussion on [Pox: An American History]</title>
      <description>Michael Willrich examined the smallpox epidemic in America in the early 1900s. The author detailed the government's initiatives to deter the spread of the disease by requiring mandatory vaccinations and instituting "virus squads" that upheld quarantines. Though these measures eventually contained the disease, they also sparked a wave of popular resistance among Americans who perceived them as a threat to their health and to their rights. Mr. Willrich addressed the questions of how far the government should go to protect the people and what happens when the interests of public health collide with religious beliefs and personal conscience. He responded to questions from members of the audience.</description>

      <description>Leo Furcht and William Hoffman read from and spoke about their book [The Stem Cell Dilemma: Beacons of Hope or Harbingers of Doom?] (Arcade Publishing, April 9, 2008). They talked about their desire to write a book that would describe stem cell research so that laypeople could understand, and without the emotion that goes into the public debate. In addition to discussing the science behind stem cell research, the book also describes the cultural, religious, legal, economic, and political stem cell dilemmas. Following their prepared remarks they answered questions from members of the audience.</description>

      <title>Book Discussion on [Stem Cell Century]</title>
      <description>Russell Korobkin talked about his book [Stem Cell Century:  Law and Policy for a Breakthrough Technology], published that day by Yale University Press. He joined other experts who talked about the policy, ethical, and legal issues surrounding stem cell research. Topics included patent law and property rights, the role of government and public funding, informed consent, the status of an embryo, and compensation for embryo and tissue donations. The panelists also talked about the announcement the previous week that stem cells can cure sickle cell anemia in mice. After their presentations, the panelists responded to questions from members of the audience. Brock Reeve moderated.
 
 This program at Harvard University was sponsored by Harvard Stem Cell Institute and the Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics at Harvard Law School. Russell Korobkin is a professor of law at the UCLA School of Law and a visiting professor at Harvard Law School.</description>

      <title>Stem Cell Research Discovery</title>
      <description>Rick Weiss talked by remote video from New York City about the discovery announced earlier in the week that skin cells can behave like embryonic stem cells. This finding has been hailed as one of the most important scientific discoveries in years as the skin cells do not raise the ethical issues that have caused embryonic stem cells to be a controversial political issue. Mr. Weiss responded to telephone calls and electronic mail.</description>
