- Title
Guidelines for human embryonic stem cell research.

- Abstract
The article focuses on the guidelines for human embryonic stem cell (hES) research. Responding to a lack of the U.S. government leadership on the conduct of human embryonic stem cell research, a National Academies panel has proposed the creation of new institutional oversight committees. As the study of hES cells accelerates worldwide, federal funding for this research area in the United States has been severely limited by ethical controversy. The committee, composed of scientists, physicians, lawyers, ethicists, a social scientist and a patient advocate, actively sought to solicit a broad range of opinions from the international scientific and lay public through public notices. A key part of the recommendations is that all hES cell research protocols be reviewed by a new institutional panel, an embryonic stem cell research oversight (ESCRO) committee.
