Oocyte donation for stem cell research.
The future success of stem cell research by means of somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) depends on a sufficient supply of human oocytes. However, oocyte donation presents certain risks for the donor, and concerns for women's welfare are rightly vocalized. At the same time, these risks are comparable with the risks faced by other healthy research subjects. Thus, research donation can withstand...
متن کاملProposed oocyte donation guidelines for stem cell research.
To expand the availability of stem cell lines suitable for basic research and clinical application, somatic cell nuclear transfer has been proposed and will require human oocyte donation. The recommendations made by the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine advisory committee on oocyte donation are based on peer-reviewed, best practices, and best clinical judgment and are intended to as...
متن کاملEthics issues in stem cell research.
Like most cutting edge medical technology, human stem cell research raises a number of difficult and important ethical issues and concerns, requiring potential benefits to be balanced against the need to protect the rights and welfare of citizens. Much of the debate involves research using embryonic stem (ES) cells, which in turns revolves around the moral status of the human embryo, and the le...
متن کاملThe CMA Code of Ethics and the donation of fresh embryos for stem cell research.
T he promises of human embryonic stem cell (hESC) research and the needs of Canadian scientists to acquire fresh human embryos with which to participate in this important field of inquiry may result in the un-intended compromise of the professional obligations of Canadian physicians. 1 The strong preference for fresh as opposed to cryopreserved embryos follows the work of South Korean scientist...
متن کاملEthical Issues in Stem Cell Transplantation
There is great interest worldwide in discovering and developing a permanent source of tissues which would be capable of generating any cell type and which would avoid the problem of transplant rejection. Stem cells are cells that can specialize into the many different cells found in the human body. The ethical objections concerning stem cells have focused primarily on their source. Human embry...
