News – Nuffield Council on Bioethics response to Code of Practice for research involving stem cell-based embryo models
The Nuffield Council on Bioethics (NCOB) would like to welcome a new UK Code of Practice (CoP) that has been developed to support researchers working with stem cell-based embryo models (SCBEMs).
The new CoP, developed by a team of UK researchers and practitioners, led by Cambridge Reproduction, in partnership with the Progress Educational Trust, seeks to provide a set of principles for researchers working with SCBEMs. They also propose setting up an oversight process for these types of studies to be reviewed by an independent committee, and having a register of research that is specific this this field of work.
The team has said that they hope funders, publishers and institutions will voluntarily sign up to the code. They are also encouraging further discussion on how the oversight mechanisms they map out might operate in practice.
