Embryos

Currently, it is possible to do only under strict conditions, research with embryos left over after IVF process, obviously with the consent of the donor couple. The special creation of embryos for research should not.

Under current law has been much scientific research with existing embryonic stem cells created from adult cells and embryos left over after IVF treatment. The investigation thus may lead to new therapies for diabetes type I, spinal cord injury and Parkinson’s disease, and to improve the quality and techniques in fertility treatments.



The health benefits

At the same time, there appear now also investigations are hampered by the ban, which could lead to treatment or prevention of disease in the short or medium term. The studies which are now offered space for focusing on health benefits and offering prospects of getting healthy children.

For example, the prevention of hereditary metabolic energy (mitochondiale hereditary diseases from mother to child). That relates to about 85 metabolic disorders that are usually severe and sometimes life-threatening and where currently little or no treatment for it.



Testing and Information

Proposals for research with embryos that are already allowed under current legislation, are even now assessed by the Central Committee on Research Involving Human Subjects. This remains so, while point of consideration is that the use or creation of embryos is necessary or whether there are alternative options. The strict condition is that embryos no longer than 14 days may be developed outside the body. Finally, there must be proper guidance and information to (potential) donors must explicitly give permission.
