This paper will show that these qualms serve to camouflage motives that are really prudential, at the cost of also obscuring the real ethical issues at play in the debate concerning embryo research and therapeutic cloning. This in turn leads to fallacious use of the Actions/Omissions Distinction ...
There are some scientists in the US trying to make embryos that are part human and part animal. The goal of the embryos (chimeras) is to help people with a range of diseases. The problem is the ethical issue. Some worry that the making of the embryos takes away from the sense of huma...
Embryo research generates therapies for reproductive and nonreproductive conditions. It often involves embryonic stem cells (ESCs) obtained through the destruction of embryos. Ethical and regulatory questions about the acceptability of destroying embryos
A year of discussion about the ethics of embryo-editing research, and perhaps simply the passage of time, seems to have blunted its controversial edge — although such work remains subject to the same ethical anxieties that surround other reproductive- biology experiments. "At least in the ...
We propose that limits on research with SHEEFs be based as directly as possible on the generation of such features, and recommend that the research and bioethics communities lead a wide-ranging inquiry aimed at mapping out solutions to the ethical problems raised by them. 展开 ...
This systematic review followed PRISMA reporting guidelines (Moher et al.,2015). The protocol is available upon request. The research question formulated for this review was: What are the ethical arguments, reasons, or concerns offered for and against the editing of human embryos using CRISPR-Cas9...
Stephen Hsu, senior vice president for research at Michigan State University, saidscientificadvances mean it will soon befeasibletoreliablyrank embryos according to potential IQ, posing profoundethicalquestions for society about whether or not the technology should be adopted. 美国一名权威科学家预计,未来...
While I don’t feel that California Conceptions (CC) was making any embryos without clear consent from recipients regarding the choice of the egg and sperm donors, we absolutely run the risk of others creating “McEmbryos” placing egg and sperm donors together based on market research, personal...
and post-implantation development. Many groups have successfully generated SCBEM of the mouse and human. Here, we provide a comparative review of the mouse and human SCBEM, discuss the capability of these models to mimic natural embryos and give a perspective on their potential future applications...
In Canada, research involving human embryos is circumscribed by law and research guidelines. This chapter describes the development of these policy instruments over the past 25+ years and analyses this history using a typology of modes of public consulta
