SUMMARY:How should we govern human stem cell-based embryo models?
DESCRIPTION:Emma Cave is a Professor of Healthcare Law at Durham University. This year she has chaired a Nuffield Council on Bioethics working group undertaking a rapid review on human “stem cell-based embryo models”. This is an exciting emerging technology that harnesses the ability of pluripotent stem cells to self-organise and develop into other cell types – in this case, modelling aspects of embryonic development. The technology is new but advancing quickly. It has significant potential to help us better understand early human development and potentially to develop therapeutic interventions that could reduce pregnancy loss and improve IVF outcomes. But it also raises some ethical and regulatory questions that Emma will explore in her talk.
