Revisiting the Regulation of Human Fertilisation and Embryology by Kirsty Horsey Pdf

The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008 was a major update to the UK’s laws on the use and regulation of reproductive technology and assisted reproduction. Since the enactment of the new law, the sector’s regulatory body, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), has also consulted on various related topics including barriers to egg and sperm donation in the UK, multiple births/single embryo transfer and using IVF technology to prevent mitochondrial disease. This book critically considers recent developments in human fertilisation legislation, asking whether the 2008 Act has achieved its stated aim of being fit for purpose. Bringing together a range of international experts, the book evaluates the fresh risks and challenges emerging from both established and existing technologies and techniques in the field of human fertilisation and embryology, as well as offering valuable insights into the social and regulatory challenges that lie ahead. Key topics include problems with DIY assisted conception; the lack of reform in respect of the regulation of surrogacy arrangements; and mitochondrial DNA transfer. As a review of the status of assisted reproduction legislation, this book will be of great use and interest to students, researchers and practitioners in medical law, bioethics, medicine and child welfare.

Human Fertilisation and Embryology by Dewinder Birk Pdf

The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008 represents the most radical overhaul of the United Kingdom's embryology laws since the enactment of the original 1990 Act. It is intended to ensure that the legislative framework keeps up with the fast pace of technological, social and medical change. The new Act is a comprehensive amending statute which makes considerable changes to the operation of both the HFEA 1990 and regulation in the area of assisted reproductive technology and embryo research. Major provisions contained in the Act include: * extending regulation to the creation and use of all embryos outside of the human body, regardless of the processes used in their creation * increasing the scope of legitimate embryo research activities, allowing hybrid embryos to be created for research into serious diseases * enforcing a ban on sex selection of offspring for non-medical reasons * retention of a duty, when providing fertility treatment, to take account of "the welfare of the child", but removal of the reference to 'the need for a father' * recognising same-sex couples as legal parents of children conceived through the use of donated sperm, eggs or embryos

The Embryo Research Debate by Michael Joseph Mulkay Pdf

Scientific research involving human embryos was a major topic of public debate in Britain during the 1980s. Despite strong support from the scientific community, embryo research was initially condemned by many ordinary people as well as by special interest groups, and came close to being banned by Act of Parliament. Michael Mulkay describes the dynamics of the parliamentary struggle over the future of embryo research, focusing on such issues as: the clash between the anti-abortion and pro-research lobbies; the tactics of the Government; political ideology; the media's role; the importance of gender; religion; the impact of science fiction; the lure of medical advance; and the difficulty of maintaining ethical control. He explains how the advocates of embryo research eventually triumphed, and ends with an examination of the cultural tensions which linger after the debate.

In Vitro Fertilization by Kay Elder,Brian Dale Pdf

This comprehensively updated and expanded second edition builds on its successful and popular predecessor, retaining the practical features which made the first edition such an essential guide to IVF. The edition describes additions to the range of ART clinical treatments, including the use of testicular and epididymal sperm, blastocyst stage transfer, and new perspectives in cryobiology and cryopreservation techniques. By incorporating laboratory techniques and protocols, with an even greater emphasis on quality control, it provides an indispensable and practical account. The introductory chapters covering the scientific background that underpins effective laboratory practice have been substantially expanded, derived from research in mammalian systems into the molecular biology of oogenesis, oocyte maturation, and early embryo metabolism. This second edition distils a wealth of practical and scientific detail for the benefit of all IVF practitioners.

Assisted Conception: Research, Ethics and Law by Jennifer Gunning Pdf

This title was first published in 2003. Assisted conception is an area where it often seems that all the ethical and legal issues have been covered and then technology advances and the discussions start all over again. The book is an anthology of papers presented during a project looking at thearaputic research in assisted conception (TRAC). It is divided into three areas addressing research, ethics and law. Each chapter begins with an overview of the issues, with the aim being to present new perspectives rather than covering old ground. The European Convention on Human rights and Biomedicine came into force on December 1, 1999. The Convention allows thearaputic research and research on spare embryos but forbid fundamental research, which may be essential to the safe development of new techniques. This also means that people may become part of an experimental process without their consent. The project brings together clinicians, embryologists, lawyers and ethicists to ascertain whether there might be a risk of infertility patients being exposed to insufficiently tested procedures and to see if there is a need for fundamental research in this area. It also looks at the legislative safeguards that exist and whether a European standard for treatment should be set.

Human in Vitro Fertilization by Jennifer Gunning,Veronica English Pdf

"The book is a case study in the regulation of medical innovation and is one of the first to put on record the development of a new medical technology together with an account of the evolution of related regulation and legislation. Focusing primarily on the UK, it documents the development of human in vitro fertilization, the regulation of research and clinical provision by the Voluntary (later Interim) Licensing Authority and the move to legislation and statutory regulation. There is a discussion of the ethical issues involved and an analysis of the success of voluntary regulation. Finally, a summary is provided of the regulation of IVF around the world. The authors have unique access to the records of the Medical Research Council and the VLA."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Review of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act by Great Britain: Department of Health Pdf

This document sets out the Government's detailed policy proposals for changes to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990 in order to update the law and regulation relating to human reproductive technologies, following on from a public consultation exercise undertaken during 2005. The proposals seek to balance the competing claims of reproductive liberty and responsibility, patient safety, child welfare, professional autonomy and public accountability. The overarching aim is to achieve the common good through a system which is broadly acceptable to society, given the complex ethical issues involved, and which is effective given the pace of scientific developments. Proposals include the creation of the new Regulatory Authority for Tissue and Embryos (RATE), to replace the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority and the Human Tissue Authority, in order to establish a single regulatory authority on the use of human tissue, cells and blood. It is proposed that the current model of regulation should continue, recognising the special status ascribed to the human embryo coupled with the permissibility of embryo research within defined limits, and with the continuation of the ban on human reproductive cloning. The Government intends to publish these proposed changes. as a draft Bill, in due course for pre-legislative scrutiny.
