The latest issue of The New England Journal of Medicine, probably the general medical journal, has a big yummy review article on the state of the science of stem cell research and stem cell therapy, bracketed by an editorial and a perspective article on the legislative disarray surrounding stem cell research in the US. Because of the great public interest in the subject, all three articles are free, full text on-line. Aside from the political aspects of it, since we posit that highborn sevolites are regenerative, these three should go on our reading list.

• Nadia Rosenthal. Prometheus's Vulture and the Stem Cell Promise (the review)
  
• Jeffrey M. Drazen. Legislative Myopia on Stem Cells (the editorial)
  
• George Q. Daley. Cloning and Stem Cells - Handicapping the Political and Scientific Debates (the perspective)
