Objective
EUROSTEM will provide an ethical framework for stem cell research; will monitor the ongoing "natural experiment" in the United Kingdom and other countries with such research, and the regulatory and legal issues involved. The need to analyse and understand the public response to this research is equally important and this need is fully recognised and responded to. Human Stem Cell Research is at the cutting edge of health and biosciences research, the innovative science involved creates ethical dilemmas that have as yet been insufficiently studied and poses challenges for our understanding of fundamental human values. The use of human stem cells raises many issues, for example: the moral status of the embryo, the consents required to use Embryonic Stem cells and other genetic material, genetic privacy and ownership of genetic information. Some of these issues concern the symbolic significance of what is done as opposed to utilitarian accounts of the meaning of the procedures. The possibilities for copying, and using a particular human genome via cloning technology have created unprecedented issues concerning human dignity and rights which will be fully explored and analysed.
