PEDIATRICS Vol. 108 No. 5 November 2001, p. 1221
In the policy statement "Human Embryo Research,"
published in the September issue of Pediatrics
(2001;108:813-816), 2 errors occurred. In the first paragraph
under "Introduction," the second sentence should
read: "Pluripotent stem cells are a
specialized subpopulation of cells capable of developing into most
(ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm), but not all, human tissue and may
be derived from human embryos."
On the roster for the Committee on Bioethics, one of the
liaison's credentials were listed erroneously. His name should read "Ernest F. Krug III, MDiv, MD, American Board of Pediatrics."
