Therapeutic Cloning
Much of the literature on therapeutic somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) covers the moral arguments for and against proceeding and the policy stall occasioned by conflicts over the moral status of embryos. Yet it is also worthwhile to view policy from the standpoint of the resources available as well as of deficiencies in those resources. This article uses the idea of a policy community to examine policy making from a starting point that focuse…
Chimeras, hybrids, and interspecies research
"Discussions of early interspecies research, in which cells or DNA are interchanged between humans and nonhumans at early stages of development, can often devolve into sweeping statements, colorful imagery, and confusing policy. Although today's policy advisory groups are becoming more informed, debate is still limited by the interchangeable use of terms such as chimeras and hybrids, a tendency to treat all forms of interspecies alike, the failur…
Egg Cell Nuclear Transfer Continued
response
Transplanting Nuclei between Human Eggs
It has been suggested that diseases linked to mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) might be circumvented by transferring the nucleus from the egg of a woman with a mitochondrial disease to a donor egg from which the nucleus has been removed and discarded. Egg cell nuclear transfer would be a straightforward technique for preventing serious diseases, relying on a procedure used in embryo or somatic cell cloning. It might present a relatively unc…

National and International Approaches to Human Germ-Line Gene Therapy
Germ-line gene therapy, in which genetic flaws are corrected in the DNA of externally fertilized human embryos, lies in the distant yet foreseeable future. Worries about germ-line therapy have prompted international bodies to craft guidelines that are unusual for their anticipatory nature. Motivating these guidelines is the idea that a “transnational harmonization” of principles should be reached before national policies are developed. This artic…
Genetic Diagnosis of Human Embryos
For all the worried talk about genetic engineering over the last two decades, it is surprising how quietly plans for the genetic diagnosis of human embryos have developed. The issues raised warrant careful examination: what needs are met through embryo diagnosis? Who bears responsibility for monitoring this technique? Under what overarching ethic should embryo diagnosis and, eventually, embryo therapy, be applied? What are the broader social impl…
Human Embryos and Genetic Testing
The practice of medicine, which traditionally falls outside the sphere of substantive governmental control, poses challenges to political scientists who perceive the need for oversight regarding problematic new technologies. The challenge is even greater when the technologies involve reproduction, in which constitutional liberties are at stake. This article suggests a private policy model for overseeing one problematic emerging reproductive techn…

Embryo Freezing
As increasing numbers of infertility clinics in the U.S. offer embryo\nfreezing as part of their IVF protocols, public debate on its ethical\nimplications has calmed. Yet in clinical settings, unanswered questions\nsuggest the need to keep alive the ethical debate about the benefits to\npatients and society of embryo freezing
Human Embryo Freezing and in Vitro Fertilization

Cloning and the Constitution
In Vitro Fertilization
Public debate and policy about in vitro fertilization tend to revolve around the ethical dimensions of experimentation with embryos. In vitro fertilization is, however, performed on women, is designed to circumvent female infertility, and offers new reproductive choices to women. This paper argues that in vitro fertilization is a woman's technology and, as such, ought to be recognized as a political issue with feminist overtones. It suggests that…
