摘要

In November 1998, President Clinton charged the National Bioethics Advisory Commission with the task of conducting a thorough review of the issues associated with human stem cell research, balancing all ethical and medical considerations. The President's request was made in response to three separate reports that brought to the fore the exciting scientific and clinical prospects of stem cell research while also raising a series of ethical controversies regarding federal sponsorship of scientific inquiry in this area. Scientific reports of the successful isolation and culture of these specialized cells have offered hope of new cures for debilitating and even fatal illness and at the same time have renewed an important national debate about the ethics of research involving human embryos and cadaveric fetal material. In a society deeply divided over the moral and legal status of embryos, any scientific or medical project using tissue or cells from the unborn is bound to raise serious philosophical and social concerns. Because varying viewpoints regarding the legal protection of embryos and fetuses have been enacted into law in different states, it is often difficult for researchers and physicians to determine which laws cover their work. Indeed, statutory and court precedents dealing with embryo and fetal research, abortion, organ transplant, and payment for body tissue all have ramifications for work involving embryo stem cells. Yet, no two states have identical laws covering these procedures. Some type of embryo stem cell research is permissible in virtually every state. Yet, because of differences in state laws, certain states would ban the collection of stem cells from embryos that were created through in vitro fertilization (IVF). In other states, a prohibition would only apply to the isolation of stem cells from aborted embryos and fetuses. (See Appendix A for a table showing bans under the embryo and fetal research laws and abortion laws by state. Appendix B presents bans on payment under the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act (UAGA) by state.)
