dc.description.abstract | In September 2007, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) in the United
Kingdom concluded that "there is no fundamental reason to prevent cytoplasmic
hybrid research ... this area of research can, with caution and careful scrutiny, be
permitted." Later, in January 2008, HFEA issued two research licenses to create
humanesque cytoplasmic hybrid embryos from which stem cells could be derived. This
article critically examines the public consultation process that preceded these
decisions, concluding that the process was flawed and demonstrating how the HFEA
documents summarizing the findings of the public consultation process misrepresent the
public's contributions to this policymaking initiative. | en_US |
