Unintended changes in cognition, mood, and behavior arising from cell-based interventions for neurological conditions: ethical challenges.

29 Apr 2009 The prospect of using cell-based interventions (CBIs) to treat neurological conditions raises several important ethical and policy questions. In this target article, we focus on issues related to the unique constellation of traits that characterize ... Read more...

Ethical, legal and social issues related to cell therapy.

29 Jun 2008 The author analyses the implications of cell therapy from a legal study that regulates the use of embryonic material: the regulation of the obtaining of cells, of research with embryos and their research and therapeutic use. There is a detailed look ... Read more...

International perspectives on the ethics and regulation of human cell and tissue transplantation.

29 Nov 2007 The transplantation of human cells and tissues has become a global enterprise for both life-saving and life-enhancing purposes. Yet current practices raise numerous ethical and policy issues relating to informed consent for donation, profit-making, ... Read more...
