Teresa Bennett is a science teacher at Collingwood College in Camberley. During her lesson she tackles the controversial issue of embryonic stem (ES) cell research with her top-set Year 9 group. Using the example of Stephen Cuff, a young man whose life has been ruined by Parkinson's Disease featured in 'Stem Cell Research: The Issues', Teresa introduces the pupils to the idea that stem cell research could cure a host of diseases and conditions. She then explains how embryonic stem cells could help before opening up a debate about the ethics of this area of research. To help the pupils explore the issues without becoming too emotionally involved, Teresa chooses characters for them to portray. Characters include stem cell researchers, people like Stephen who could benefit from the research, and people who are opposed to it. Also present is Ralph Levinson from the Institute of Education who gives Teresa some valuable feedback on her lesson.
