Abstract

Karl-Heinz Narjes, Scientific Commissioner for the European Economic Community, revealed how profoundly views of embryo research differ when he stated, "We cannot have a situation in which the same research might lead to a Nobel Prize in some member states... and to prison in others." Through 19 essays contained in this volume, the editors seek "to scrutinize the scientific, ethical, public policy, and legal issues which must be addressed wherever the new technology exists".
