Some species of reptiles, amphibians, and fish are able to reproduce naturally by parthenogenesis. As well, biologists can induce parthenogenesis in some species, including some mammals. What new fields of research have opened up as a result of research on parthenogenesis? Which field do you think is the most interesting?


Stem Cell Ethics
How would parthenogenesis provide a source of embryonic stem cells? Does this represent a solution to the ethical dilemma surrounding the use of embryonic stem cells? This article from New Scientist provides a starting point to consider these questions.
