In short, the study of human reproduction is an inherently anthropological one that benefits from the field's ethnographic methods, and by theoretical and applied models which link social processes and cultural practices with ethical reasoning, new technologies, and advanced knowledge of human ...
This is already being done in some clinics84 and a multicentre trial has been set up by the European Society for Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) to determine the value of PGS based on polar-body biopsy and analysis with array CGH.81 Using microarray PGS, targeted testing of ...
This review is not intended to be extensive but rather to provide a basic framework for comparison. For more detail, the reader is referred to the previous volume in this series, “Nonhuman Primates in Biomedical Research: Volume I, Biology and Management, Reproduction.” Humane care and ...
More particularly, from a regulatory perspective and when considered against the ethical values at stake within an ecosystem, there is a need to complement any whole system approach with an appropriate normative framework for establishing a WSA within health research regulation. Not only will this ...
