- Title
Controversial Embryology Bill in the UK.
- Abstract
The article focuses on a controversy arising from a Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill introduced to the House of Commons in Great Britain in 2008. The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) granted research licenses to King's College London and Newcastle University teams in England to allow them to develop interspecies embryos. Catholic Church head Cardinal Keith O'Brien in Scotland referred to the research as an attack to human rights, dignity and life. An open letter defending the bill cited the benefits of using admixed embryos.
