Point - Counterpoint
At times strenuous debate is a standard part of "Ethics, biotechnology, and the future of human nature," co-taught by Professors Michael Sandel, shown here, the Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professor of Government, and Doug Melton, Co-Director of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute and the Thomas Dudley Cabot Professor of the Natural Sciences.
