Human Embryonic Stem Cells: A Justification for Their Use in Medical Therapeutics
Abstract
It seems widely accepted that the United Kingdom (UK) has led the way in introducing legislation to regulate clinical practice in assisted reproduction. The UK Human Fertilization and Embryology Act was passed in 1990 and has been mimicked by similar legislation in many other countries. The Act, and the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority (HFEA) that it created, has been updated and amended to reflect changes in public opinion concerning in vitro fertilization (IVF) and related technologies, and we are now, in 2006, up to the Sixth Revision of the HFEA Guidelines. There is no shortage of legislative influence over Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) in the UK.This content is limited to qualifying members.
