Changing the Rules

December 12, 2006

If the British Health Minister has her way, embryology laws in the U.K. will be changed to make them “fit for purpose in the early 21st century.” Some of the proposed changes:

  • Research will be permitted on embryos that are “part-human, part animal.”
  • Embryos may be screened for genetic abnormalities.
  • The need for a father will no longer be considered when a woman seeks fertility treatment.
