CONTROVERSY, CONTROL AND CREATIVITY
Public policy making in assisted reproduction and genetics
Organised by Progress Educational Trust | Sponsored by The Wellcome Trust
Friday 7 December 2001 | 10.00am
Institute of Child Health, 30 Guilford Street, London WC1
This summer, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority
celebrated its 10th birthday. The regulation of assisted reproduction
in the UK is often regarded as a model for other countries, both for
the public debate leading up to its formation and for how it monitors
IVF and embryo research in the UK. But, 10 years on, how is the UK
regulatory system working for practitioners, researchers, patients
and the public? What can other areas of biomedicine such as genetics
learn from it? And is it now time to rethink the legislation in the
light of the recent High Court ruling it does not regulate human
cloning?
Speakers include John Parsons, Kings College Hospital (IVF
regulation: did we get it right?), Marcus Pembrey, Institute of Child
Health (How regulated should genetics be?) and Harry Griffin, Roslin
Institute (Regulating stem cell lines). Full programme and
