This is one of the more clear and useful pieces we've read about stem cell research. It's also strongly narrative.
This piece was part of a package that won a 2005 Pulitzer Prize in explanatory reporting. Cook uses narrative in this piece to show the "real people" who could be helped by advances in stem cell technology. It's a sad story about the parents of an ill boy whose hopes for stem cells outpace their current promise.
