201. Embryo research wins backing

Author

Subjects
United States. National Institutes of Health -- Social policy, Human embryo -- Research, Education
Abstract

A committee formed by the National Institutes of Health decided to end the ban on human embryo research and agreed that scientists can create human embryos for research purposes but should destroy them after two weeks. The panel of members has also forbidden financing of unethical research practices such as human cloning. There are many critics to the new recommendations who claim that embryos have the same rights as children as life begins at this stage.

Abstract

Roger A. Pederson, professor of reproductive sciences at the University of California in San Francisco, is urging the federal government to fund fundamental research on human embryos as it is essential to develop new therapies for cancer and increase the knowledge of birth defects. Pederson says that screening of embryos will help detect chromosomal defects and that embryo research will facilitate the development of techniques to help infertile couples have children.
