This book addresses the bioethics behind using stem cell therapy as a way of treating certain conditions. There are two sides to the ethical debate on basing our treatment options on evidence based medicine. [1] One side of the debate is " Is it ethical for doctors to offer to patients treatment options that have not become a standard of care as yet?." [2] The other side of the debate is "Is it ethical to deny patients suffering from disabling diseases, treatments options that are safe and available, whilst we wait many years for the results of multicentric international trial to prove that these treatments work ?" Both these questions are answered differently by different people depending on what is at stake for them.
Dr. Alok Sharma, Dr. Nandini Gokulchandran, Dr. Renuka Desai
