Summary "The book addresses definitions conceptually - their stability in the face of continuous technological innovation, their versatility at the crossroads of scientific and public forums, and their translations and retranslations through politics. Most importantly, it recognizes definitions as central issues, not only within the topic of stem cell research, but in all argumentation"--Dust jacket.
