Department of Health and Human Services, Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health. Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee. Minutes of meeting, February 2, 1987.

The National Institutes of Health system for enhancing the science, safety, and ethics of recombinant DNA research.

Oversight of recombinant DNA research by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is predicated on ethical and scientific responsibilities that are akin, in many ways, to those that pertain to the oversight of animal research. The NIH system of oversight, which originated more than 25 years ago, is managed by the NIH Office of Biotechnology Activities (OBA), which uses various tools to fulfill i...

Stem cell research.

Recent actions by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) involving human embryonic stem cell research have rekindled debate over the difficult ethical and social issues surrounding embryo and fetal tissue research. Embryonic stem cells, which have the ability to develop into virtually any cell in the body, may have the potential to treat me...
