Stem cells: therapies for the future?
18 December 2001 - 18 December 2001
With stem cell research and the spectre of human cloning regularly hitting the headlines throughout Europe, the European Commission and Research Commissioner Philippe Busquin's High Level Group on Life Sciences are to host a conference on 'Stem cells: therapies for the future?' on 18 and 19 December 2001.
The event, which will take place at the Charlemagne Building in Brussels, will invite a forum of stakeholders to express their views on the ethical issues behind the use of stem cell research to find treatments for degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and arthritis.
The aim of the forum is to encourage debate between scientists who are concerned with the feasibility and consequences of such research, and a wide range of people concerned with the opportunities and risks of such work, such as law experts, patients' associations, students and teachers, public authorities and the media.For further information please visit:
