Iran: The Stem Cell Fatwa

12m 43s

While headlines about Iran barely get beyond religious extremism and nuclear bombs, this FRONTLINE/World story reveals that the staunchly conservative theocracy has married science and religion to become a world-class hub for embryonic stem cell research.

Aired: 06/06/09
FRONTLINE/World is made possible by Shell. Major funding provided by the Skoll Foundation, The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.
