On August 4, 2008, DeGette's first book Sex, Science, and Stem Cells, was released by The Lyons Press. In this book, DeGette writes that there are "110 million Americans suffering from diseases who stood to gain from potential applications" of stem-cell science. She writes, "Over time, I realized that the politicization of science by the Republicans and the religious right was at its most insidious over any issue relating to human reproduction....This brought me to the inevitable conclusion that too many of our elected officials are simply incapable of thinking rationally about sex. I could think of no other explanation."

“The world has held great Heroes,
As history books have showed;
But never a name to go down to fame
Compared with that of Toad!”

“What can books of men that wive
In a dragon-guarded land,
Paintings of the dolphin-drawn
Sea-nymphs in their pearly wagons
Do, but awake a hope to live...?”
